5.  When  commissions  are  of  the  same  date,  the  rank  is  to  be  decided, 
between  officers  of  the  same  regiment  or  corps  by  the  order  of  appoint- 
ment; between  officers  of  different  regiments  or  corps:  1st,  by  rank  in 
actual  service  when  appointed  ;  2d,  by  former  rank  and  service  in  the 
army  or  marine  corps  ;  3d,  by  lottery  among  such  as  have  not  been  in 
the  military  service  of  the  Confederate  States.  In  case  of  equality  of 
ranks  by  virtue  of  a  brevet  commission,  reference  is  had  to  commissions 
not  brevet. 

6.  Officers  having  brevets  or  commissions  of  a  prior  date  to  those  of 
the  corps  in  which  they  serve,  will  take  place  on  courts-martial  or  of 
inquiry,  and  on  boards  detailed  for  military  purposes,  when  composed 
of  different  corps,  according  to  the  ranks  given  them  in  their  brevets  or 
former  commissions  ;  but  in  the  regiment,  corps,  or  company  to  which 
such  officers  belong,  they  shall  do  duty  and  take  rank,  both  in  courts 
and  on  boards  as  aforesaid,  which  shall  be  composed  of  their  own  corps, 
according  to  the  commissions  by  which  they  are  there  mustered.

10.  In  regularly  constituted  commands,  as  garrisons,  posts,  depart- 
ments, companies,  battalions,  regiments,  corps,  brigades,  divisions,  army 
corps,  or  the  army  itself,  b*evet  rank  cannot  be  exercised  except  by 
special  assignment. 

11.  The  officers  of  engineers  are  not  to  assume  nor  to  be  ordered  on

13.  Officers  of  the  Quartermasters  or  Subsistence  Departments, 
though  eligible  to  command  according  to  the  rank  they  hold  in  the 
army  of  the  Confederate  States,  not  subject  to  the  orders  of  a  junior 
officer,  shall  not  assume  the  command  of  troops  unless  put  on 
duty  under  orders  which  specially  so  direct  by  authority  of  the  Presi- 
dent. 

ARTICLE  III. 

SUCCESSION  IN  COMMAND  OR  DUTY. 

14.  The  functions  assigned  to  any  officer  in  these  regulations  by  title

28.  Leaves  of  absence  will  not  be  granted  by  commanding  officers  to 
officers  on  tendering  their  resignation,  unless  the  resignation  be  uncon- 
ditional aud  immediate. 

ARTICLE  VI. 

EXCHANGE    OR    TRANSFER    OF    OFFICERS. 

20.  The  transfer  of  officers  from  one  regiment  or  corps  to  another,  will 
be  made  only  by  the  War  Department,  on  the  mutual  application  of  the

30.  An  officer  shall  not  be  transferred  from  one  regiment  or  corps  to 


4  APPOINTMENTS,  FORTIFICATIONS,  AC. 

another,  with  prejudice  to  the  rank  of  any  officer  of  the  regiment  or  corps 
to  which  he  is  transferred. 

ARTICLE  VII. 

APPOINTMENTS   ON  THE  STAFF. 

31.  General  Officers  appoint  their  own  Aides-de-camp. 

32.  Officers  on  duty  as  Brigadier  and  Major  General,  by  virtue  of 
Brevet  Commissions,  may,  with  the  speoial  sanction  of  the  War  De- 
partment, be  allowed  the  Aids-de-Camp  of  the  grades  corresponding  to 
their  brevets  ;  but  without  such  sanction,  the  number  and  rate  of  pay  of 
the  Aids  will  be  regulated  according  to  the  lineal  grade  of  the  General. 

33.  An  officer  of  a  mounted  corps  shall  not  be'  separated  from  his

34.  The  senior  Lieutenant  present,  holding  the  appointment  of  As- 
sistant Commissary  of  Subsistence,  is  entitled  to  perform  the  duties. 

ARTICLE  VIII. 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  THE  TROOPS. 

35.  The  military  geographical  departments  will  be  established  by  the 
War  Department.  In  time  of  peace,  brigades  or  divisions  will  not  be 
formed,  nor  the  stations  of  the  troops  changed,  without  authority  from 
the  War  Department. 

%  ARTICLE  IX. 

CARE  OF  FORTIFICATIONS. 

36.  No  person  shall  be  permitted  to  walk  upon  any  of  the  slopes  of  a 
fortification,  except  the  ramps  and  glacis.  If,  in  any  case,  it  be  necessary 
to  provide  for  crossing  them,  it  should  be  done  by  placing  wooden  steps 
or  stairs  against  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walking  of  persons  on  a 
parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface 
into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal  shall  ever  be  permitted  to  go 
upon  the  slopes,  the  ramparts,  of  the  parapets,  nor  upon  the  glacis,  ex- 
cept within  fenced  limits,  which  should  not  approach  the  crest  nearer 
than  30  feet, 

38.  All  grassed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed,  (except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly — the  grass  being  never  allowed  to  be  more  than 
a  few  inches  high.  In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even  and  close,  upon  small 
slopes,  a  light  one-handed  scythe  should  be  used  ;  and  in  mowing  the 
steep  slopes,  the  mower  should  stand  on  a  light  ladder  resting  against 
the  slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the  glacis: 
or,  if  fenced,  it  may  be  used  as  pasture,  otherwise  it  should  be  treated 
as  other  slopes  of  the  fortification.  On  all  the  slopes,  spots  of  dead  grass 
will  be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will  be  eradi- 
cated. 

39.  The  burning  of  grass  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strictly 
forbiilden. 

40.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gul- 
lies in  the  parade,  terreplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  in  slopes  where 
grass  is  not  well  established. 

41.  Earth,  sand  or  ashes,  must  not  be  placed  against  wood  work;  a 


FORTIFICATIONS,  AC.  D 

free  ventilation  must  be  preserved  around  it ;  and  all  wooden  floors, 
platforms,  bridges,  &c,  will  be  kept  clean  swept. 

42.  The  machinery  of  draw  bridges,  gates,  and  posterns  must  be  kept 
in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts  ;  the 
bridges  will  be  raised,  and  the  gates  and  posterns  opened  as  often  as 
once  a  week. 

43.  The  terrepleins  of  forts,  the  floors  of  casemates,  caponniers,  store- 
rooms, barracks,  galleries,  posterns,  magazines,  &c,  and  the  side-walks 
in  front  of  quarters,  as  well  as  other  walks,  are  sometimes  paved  with 
brick  or  stones,  or  formed  of  concrete.  These  surfaces  must  be  preserved 
from  injury  with  great  care.  In  transporting  guns  and  carriages,  and 
in  mounting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  be  used,  and  neither  the 
wheels  nor  any  other  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such  as 
shears,  gins,  &c,  nor  any  handspike  or  other  implements,  will  be  allowed 
to  touch  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  a  similar  manner,  no  wheel- 
barrow, or  vehicle,  or  barrel,  shall  be  rolled  on  said  surfaces.  No  vio- 
lent work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heavy  weight  suffered,  to  fall  upon  them. 
In  using  machines,  as  gins,  &.C.,  in  casemates,  care  must  be  taken  not  to 
injure  the  arch,  or  ceiling,  or  floors.  Neglect  of  these  precautions  may 
cause  injuries  apparently  slight,  but  serious  in  effect,  from  leaking  of 
water  into  masonry,  casemates,  &c. 

44.  The  doors  and  windows  of  all  store  rooms  and  unoccupied  case- 
mates, quarters,  barracks,  &c,  will  be  opened  several  times  a  week  for 
thorough  ventilation. 

45.  Masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  heated  only  on  the  approach  of  an 
enemy.     For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  shot,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

A(\.  The  foregoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense;  the  labor  is 
within  the  means  of  every  garrison,  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  re- 
quired beyond  what  will  be  found  among  soldiers.  Other  repairs  re- 
quiring small  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  exposed  wood  or  iron 
work,  can  be  also  executed  by  the  garrison  ;  but  reports,  estimates,  and 
requisitions,  may  be  necessary  to  obtain  the  materials. 

47.  No  alteration  will  be  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  any  build- 
ing whatever  belonging  to  it,  nor  in  any  building  or  work  of  any  kind  ; 
nor  will  any  building  or  work  of  earth,  masonry,  or  timber,  be  erected 
withiu  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a  mile,  except 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Department,  and  by  authority 
of  the  Secretary  of  War. 

ARTICLE  X. 

CARK  OF  ARMAMENT  OF  FORTIFICATION'S. 

48.  At  each  permanent  post  with  a  fixed  battery,  and  garrisoned  by 
not  more  than  one  company,  there  will  be  kept  mounted  for  purposes  of 
instruction  and  target  practice,  three  heavy  guns;  and  at  posts  garri- 
soned by  more  than  one  company,  at  the  rate  of  two  for  each  of  the  com- 
panies composing  its  garrison.  The  other  guns  dismounted  will  be  pro- 
perly placed  within  their  own  traverse  circles,  and  the  carriages  pre- 
served from  the  weather. 

49.  All  guns  should  be  sponged  clean,  and  their  vents  examined  to 
see  that  they  are  clear.  The  chassis  should  be  traversed  and  left  in  a 
different  position,  the  top  carriage  moved  backward  and  forward,  and 


(5  ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

left  alternately  over  the  front  and  rear  transoms  of  the  chassis ;  the  ele- 
vating screws  or  machines  wiped  clean,  worked  and  oiled  if  required, 
and  the  nuts  of  all  bolts  screwed  up  tight.  This  should  all  be  done  reg- 
ularly once  in  every  week. 

50.  When  tarpaulins,  or  pent  houses,  are  placed  over  the  guns,  they 
should  be  removed  once  a  week  when  the  weather  is  fair,  the  carriages 
and  guns  brushed  off,  and  if  damp,  allowed  to  dry. 

51.  An  old  sponge  staff  and  head,  should  be  used  for  drill.  The  new 
sponges  should  never  be  used  unless  the  gun  is  fired.  The  implements 
should  be  kept  in  stores,  under  cover,  and  be  examined,  wiped  clean,  or 
brushed  at  least  once  a  month.  In  case  of  leather  equipments,  due 
care  should  be  taken  for  their  preservation,  by  the  use  of  oil,  but  never 
using  varnish. 

52.  Magazines  should  be  frequently  examined  to  see  that  the  powder 
is  well  preserved.  They  should  be  opened  every  other  day,  when  the 
air  is  dry  and  clear.  Barrels  of  powder  should  be  turned  and  rolled 
occasionally.  Under  ordinary  circumstances,  only  a  few  cartridges 
should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  if  the  cartridge  becomes  soft, 
or  loses  its  sizing,  it  is  certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and 
means  should  be  found  to  improve  the  ventilation.  Cartridge  bags  may 
be  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling  ;  also  port-fires,  fuses,  tubes 
and  primers.  Stands  of  grape,  cannister,  and  wads,  for  [barbette  guns 
should  be  kept  in  store  with  the  implements.  In  casemate  guns,  wads 
may  be  hung  in  bundles,  and  grape  and  cannister  near  the  guns.  Shot, 
well  lacquered  and  clean,  may  be  placed  in  piles  near  the  guns. 

ARTICLE  XI. 

ARriLLERY  PRACTICE. 

53.  At  all  posts  with  fixed  batteries,  the  position  of  every  gun,  mounted 
or  to  be  mounted,  will  have  its  number,  and  this  number  be  placed  on 
the  gun  when  in  position. 

54.  For  every  such  work  a  post-book  of  record  will  be  kept,  under 
the  direction  of  the  commander  of  the  post,  in  which  will  be  duly  enter- 
ed, the  number  of  each  mounted  gun,  its  calibre,  weight,  names  of 
founder,  and  its  inspector,  and  other  marks:  the  description  of  its  car- 
riage and  date  of  reception  at  the  post ;  where  from,  and  the  greatest 
field  of  fire  of  the  gun  in  its  position. 

55.  Every  commander  of  a  fort,  or  other  fixed  battery,  will,  before 
entering  on  artillery  practice,  carefully  reconnoitre,  and  cause  to  be 
sketched  for  his  record  book,  the  water  channels,  with  their  soundings 
and  other  approaches  to  the  work.  Bouys  or  marks  will  be  placed  at 
the  extreme  and  intermediate  ranges  of  the  guns,  and  these  marks  be 
numerically  noted  on  the  sketch.  A  buoy  at  every  five  hundred  yards 
may  suffice. 

56.  At  the  time  of  practice  a  distinct  and  careful  note  will  be  made 
for  the  record-book,  of  every  shot  or  shell  that  may  be  thrown,  desig- 
nating the  guns  fiied  by  their  numbers,  the  charges  of  powder  used,  the 
time  of  flight  of  shots  and  shells,  the  ranges  and-ricochets,  and  the  posi- 
tions of  guns  in  respect  to  the  horizontal  and  vertical  lines. 

57.  The  time  of  flight  of  a  shell  may  be  noted  with  sufficient  accuracy 
by  a  stop-watch,  or  by  counting  the  beats  (previously  ascertaining  their 


REGIMENTS.  7 

value)  of  other  watches,  and  the  range  may  sometimes  be  computed  by 
the  time  of  flight.  Other  modes  ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  occur 
to  officers  of  science. 

58.  When  charged  shells  with  fuzes  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.  If  they  are  intended  to  fall  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  ta  the  shells,  so  that  they  may  be  picked  up  for 
further  use. 

59.  On  filling  from  the  barrel,  the  proof  range  of  powder  will  be 
marked  on  the  cartridges. 

60.  The  general  objects  of  jbis  practice  are,  to  give  to  officers  and 
men  the  ready  and  effective  use  of  batteries ;  to  preserve  on  record  the 
more  important  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  command- 
ers, and  to  ascertain  the  efficiency  yf  guns  and  carriages. 

61.  The  commanders  of  field  artillery  will  also  keep  registers  of  their 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shut  or  shell  shall  be  thrown  in  the  army,  for  in- 
struction, without  distinct  objects,  such  as  range,  accuracy  of  aim,  num- 
ber of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting  in  the  case  of  shells,  &o. 

62.  The  issue  of  blank  cartridges  for  the  drill  and  instruction  of  the 
light  artillery  companies  will  be  authorized  in  such  quantities  as  may 
be  necessary,  on  requisitions  duly  approved  by  the  proper  department. 

63.  For  artillery  there  will  be  three  annual  periods  of  practice  in 
firing,  viz:  in  April,  June  and  October.  At  the  termination  of  each 
period  the  commanding  officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant- 
Geueral  full  reports  of  the  results. 

64.  To  determine  accuracy  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or  targets 
will  be  used.     If  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will  be  erected. 

65.  As  practice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense,  commanders  of  com- 
panies, and  their  immediate  superiors,  are  charged  with  the.strict  execu- 
tion of  the  foregoing  details;  and  all  officers  on  inspection  duty  will  re- 

.port,  through  the  proper  channels,  upon  such  execution. 

ARTICLE  XII. 

REGIMENTS. 

66.  On  the  organization  of  a  regiment,  companies  receive  a  permanent 
designation  bj'  letters  beginning  with  A,  and  the  officers  are  assigned  to 
companies; ;  afterward,  company  officers  succeed  to  companies,  as  pro- 
moted to  fill  vacancies.  Companies  take  place  in  the  battalion  accord- 
ing to  the  rank  of  their  captains. 

67.  Captains  must  serve  with  their  companies.  Though  subject  to 
the  temporary  details  oi  service,  as  for  courts-martial,  military  boards, 
&c,  they  shall  not  be  detailed  for  any  duty  which  may  separate  them 
for  any  considerable  time  from  their  companies. 

68.  The  commander  of  a  regiment  will  appoint  the  adjutant  from  the 
subalterns  of  the  regiment.  He  will  nominate  the  regimental  quarter- 
master to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  appointment,  if  approved.  He  will 
appoint  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment;  and,  upon  the  re- 
commendation of  the  company  commander,  the  sergeants  and  corporals 
of  companies.

headquarters,  the  company  commanders  may  make  temporary  appoint- 
ments of  non-commissioned  officers. 


O  aEGIMENTS. 

70.  Commanders  of  regiments  are  enjoined  to  avail  themselves  of  every 
opportunity  of  instructing  both  officers  and  men  in  the  exercise  and  man- 
agement of  field  artillery;  and  all  &  .inlanders  ought  to  encourage  use- 
ful occupations,  and  manly  exerc'  08,  and  diversions  among  their  men, 
and  to  repress  dissipation  and  immorality. 

71.  It  is  enjoined  upon  all  officers  to  he  cautious  in  reproving  non- 
commissioned officers  in  the  presence  or  hearing  of  privates,  lest  their 
authority  be  weakened;  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  not  to  be  sent 
to  the  guard-room  and  mixed  with  privates  during  confinement,  but  be 
considered  as  placed  in  arrest,  except  in  aggravated  cases,  where  escape 
may  be  apprehended.  • 

72.  Non-commissioned  officers  may  be  reduced  to  the  ranks  by  the 
sentence  of  a  court-martial,  or  by  order  of  the  commander  of  the  regi- 
ment on  the  application  of  the  company  commander.  If  reduced  to  the 
ranks  by  garrsion  courts,  at  posts  not  the  headquarters  of  the  regiment, 
the  company  commander  will  immediately  forward  a  transcript  of  the 
order  to  the  regimental  commander. 

73.  Every  non-commissioned  officer  shall  be  furnished  with  a  certifi- 
cate or  warrant  of  his  rank,  signed  by  the  colonel  and  countersigned  by 
the  adjutant.  Blank  warrants  are  furnished  from  the  Adjutant-Gene- 
ral's  office.  The  first,  or  orderly  sergeant,  will  be  selected  by  the  captain 
from  the  sergeants.

will  be  allowed  for  each,  sixteen  privates  to  act  as  musicians,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  chief  musicians  authorized  by  law,  provided,  the  total  num- 
ber of  privates  in  the  regiment,  including  the  band,  does  not  exceed  the 
legal  standard. 

75.  The  musicians  of  the  band  will,  for  the  time  being,  be  dropped 
from  the  company  muster-rolls,  but  they  will  be  instructed  as  soldiers, 
and  liable  to  serve  in  the  ranks  on  any  occasion.  They  will  be  mustered 
in  a  separate  squad  under  the  chief  musician,  with  the  non-commission- 
ed stall,  and  be  included  in  the  aggregate  in  all  regimental  returns. 

70.  When  a  regiment  occupies  several  stations,  the  band  will  be  kept 
at  the  headquarters,  provided  troops  (one  or  more  companies)  be  serving 
there.  The  field  music  belonging  to  companies  not  stationed  at  regi- 
mental headquarters,  will  not  be  separated  from  their  respective  com- 
panies. 

77.  No  man,  unless  be  be  a  carpenter,  joiner,  carriage -maker,  black-

the  regiment,  is  to  be  marked  with  the  number  and  name  of  the  regi- 
ment. 

79.  Such  articles  as  belong  to  companies  are  to  be  marked  with  the

Inclosed  herewith  you  will  receive  the  report  of  — 
commanding  the  company  in  which  the  sergeant  has  beeu  serving,  to 
which  I  add  the  following  remarks: 

,  Commanding Regiment. 

12C.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  headquarters  of  the  regi- 
ment, the  reports  of  the  commanding  officer  in  this  matter,  will  pass  to 
the  regimental  headquarters  through  the  commanding  officer  of  the  post 
or  detachment,  and  be  accompanied  by  his  opinion  as  to  the  fitness  of 
the  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  Sergeants  will  be  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed, 
and  are  not  to  be  transferred  to  other  stations  except  by  orders  from  the 
Adjutant  and  Inspector-General's  office. 

128.  At  the  expiration  of  their  term  of  service,  ordnance  sergeants 
may  be  re-enlisted,  provided  they  shall  have  conducted  themselves  in  a 
becoming  manner,  and  performed  their  duties  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
commanding  officer.  If  the  commanding  officer,  however,  shall  not  think 
proper  to  re-enlist  the  ordnance  sergeant  of  his  post,  he  will  not  dis- 
charge him  at  the  expiration  of  bis  service,  unless  it  shall  be  the  wish 
of  the  sergeant,  but  will  communicate  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector- 
General  his  reasons  for  declining  to  re-enlist  him,  to  be  submitted  to  the 
War  Department. 

129.  The  officers  interested  must  be  aware,  from  the  nature  of  the 
duties  assigned  to  ordnance  sergeants,  that  the  judicious  selection  of 
them  i9  of  no  small  importance  to  the  interests  of  the  service;  and  that 
while  the  law  contemplates,  in  the  appointment  of  these  non-commis- 
sioned officers,  the  bettor  preservation  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance 


14  ORDNANCE    SERGEANTS. 

stores  in  deposit  in  the  several  forts,  there  is  the  further  motive 
of  offering  a  reward  to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have 
long  served  their  country,  and  of  thus  giving  encouragement  to  the  sol- 
dier in  the  ranks  to  emulate  them  in  conduct,  and  thereby  secure  t-ub- 
stantial  promotion.  Colonels  and  Captains  can  Dot,  therefore,  be  too 
particular  in  investigating  the  characters  of  the  candidates,  and  in  giving 
their  testimony  as  to  their  merits. 

130.  The  appointment  and  removal  of  ordnance  sergeants,  stationed 
at  military  posts,  in  pursuance  of  the  above  provisions  of  law,  shall  be 
reported  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General  to  the  Chief  of  the  Ord- 
nance Department. 

131.  When  a  non-commissioned  officef  receives  the  appointment  of 
ordnance  sergeant,  he  shall  be  dropped  from  the  rolls  of  the  regiment  or 
company  in  which  he  may  be  serving  at  the  time. 

132.  The  duty  of  ordnance  sergeants  relates  to  the  care  of  the  ordnance, 
arms,  ammunition,  and  other  military  stores  at  the  post  to  which  they 
may  be  attached,  under  tho  direction  of  the  commanding  officer,  and 
according  to  the  regulations  of  the  Ordnance  Department. 

133.  If  a  post  be  evacuated,  the  ordnance  sergeant  shall  remain  on 
duty  at  the  station,  under  the  direction  of  the  Chief  of  the  Ordnance  De- 
partment, in  charge  of  the  ordnance  and  ordnance  stores,  and  of  such 
other  public  property  as  is  not  in  charge  of  some  officer  or  agent  of  other 
Departments;  for  which  ordnance  stores  and  other  property  he  will  ac- 
count to  the  chiefs  of  the  proper  departments  until  otherwise  directed. 

134.  An  ordnance  sergeant  in  charge  of  ordnance  stores  at  a  post 
where  there  is  no  commissioned  officer,  shall  be  held  responsible  for  the

until  the  rear  of  the  column  shall  have  parsed  him,  when  it  will  cease, 
ami  foil  >\v  in  the  rear  of  the  battalion,  unless  die  hattalirn  is  to  pass  in

graph 341.     The  review  will   terminate  by  the  whole  saluting  as  at  the 
beginning. 

352.  If,  however,  instructions  have  been  previously  given  to  march 
the  troops  past  in  quick  time,  also,  the  Colonel  will,  instead  of  chang- 
ing the  guides,  halting  the  column  and  wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above 
directed,  give  the  command,

with  the  column,  and  continue  to  play  until  the  battalion  is  halted  on 
its  original  ground  of  formation.  The  review  will  terminate  in  the 
same  manner  as  prescribed  above. 

353.  The  Colonel  will  afterwards  cause  the  troops  to  perform  such 
exercises  and  manoeuvres  as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

354.  When  two  or  more  battalions  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be 
formed  in  parade  order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  per- 
form the  same  movements  that  are  laid  down  for  a  single  battalion,  ob- 
serving the  additional  directions  that  are  given  for  such  movements 
when  applied  to  the  line.  The  Brigadier  General  and  his  staff,  on  foot, 
will  place  themselves  opposite  the  centre  of  the  brigade  ;  the  Brigadier-

mounted  officers  only  will  salute. 

', .  A  number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed 
as  a  battalion,  and  a  single  oompany  as  jf  it  were  with  the  battalion. 
In  the  latier  cose,  the  company  may  pass  in  column  <>r  platoons.

joined  by  ilie  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  his  division,  will 
proceed  down  the  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Briga- 
dier-Generals respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  su 
sion.  The  music  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while 
the  reviewing  personage  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only  then. 

359.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
the  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  commence  to  [day  when  the 
music  of  the  preceding  one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  has  passed  the  reviewing  bf- 

360.  The  reviewing  officer  or  personage  will  acknowledge  the  salute 
by  raising,  or  taking  off  his  cap  or  hot,  when  the  commander  of  the 
troops  salutes  him  :   and   also  when   the   colors  pass.      The  remainder  of 

the  tini cupied  by  the  passage  of  the  troops  he  will  be  covered. 

361.  The  review  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  be  conducted  on  similar

ARTICLE  XXXVI. 

TROOPS  IN   CAMPAIGN. 

ORGANIZATION    OF    AN    ARMY     IN    THE    FIELD. 

461.  The  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  division  consists  usually  of  two  or  throe  brigades,  either  of 
infantry  or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propor- 
tion. 

A  1  rigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.  The  first  num- 
ber takes  the  right. 

-10  1.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  ami  light  cav- 
alry, especially  fur  the  advance  guards. 

465.  Ah  the  t: oops  arrive  at  the  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding- 
in  chief  will  organize  them  into  I  rigades  and  divisions, 

466.  Ill"  light  cavalry  is  employed  as  flankers  and  partizans,  and 
generally  for  ail  service  oul  i  f  the  line. 

467.  Heavy  cavalry  belongs  t"  the  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  ne- 
iry,  io  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  ur  infantry  of 

the  line. 

Tbe  arrangement  of  tbe  troops  on  parade  nnd  in  ordei  of  battle 
is — 1st,  tbe  light  infantry  :  2d,  infantry  of  tbe  line:  3d,  light  cavalrv  ; 
•1th,  cavalry  of  the  line;  5tb,  henvy  cavalry.  Tbe  troops  of  tbe  artil- 
lery and  engineers  are  in  tbe  cei  tre  ol  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps 

to  which  they  lire  attached  ;    marines    take    tbe    left   uf  other  infantry; 
Volunteers  and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  troops   of  tbe  same  arm, 

and    among    themselves,    regiments  if   volunteers  or  militia    of   the 

same  arm  take  pbue  by  |(  t.     This  arrangement  is  varied  by  tbe  general 
commanding  in  chief,  n^  the  circumstances  of  war  render  expedient. 

169,  Brigades  in  divisions,  ami  divisions  in  tbe  army,  are  numbered 
from  right  to  left  ;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  brigades  and 
divisions  are  designated  ly  the  name  of  tbe  general  commanding  them. 

470.  Tbe  older  of  regiments  in  brigades  and  of  brigades  in  divisions 
may  bo  changed  by  the  commander  of  tbe  division  for  important  rea- 
sons, smd)  as  tbe  weakness  of  Bome  corps,  or  to  relieve  one  from  march- 
ing too  long  at  the  rear  of  tbe  column.  Such  changes  must  he  reported 
to  the  general  commau  ling-in  chief. 

471.  The  general  cnmmandiiig-in-chiof  assigns  the  generals  of  divi- 
sions and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,  when  the  assign- 
ment is  not  made  by  tbe  Department  of  War. 

472.  The  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail,  by  compa- 
nies, when  he  takes  the  command  and  at  the  opening  of  the  campaign, 


CONTRIBUTIONS. — ORDERLIES.  51 

and  as  often  as  may  be  necessary  to  ascertain  exactly  their  condition. 
The  general  of  division  makes  similar  inspections  when  he  thinks  pro- 
per. At  these  inspections  the  generals  examine  the  arms,  clothing, 
equipments,  harness,  horses,  &c.  ;  direct  the  necessary  repairs,  and  de- 
signate the  men  and  horses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  with  the  train. 

473.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  by  the  general  of  brigade  to 
the  general  of  division,  and  by  the  general  of  division  to  the  general 
commanding-in-chief. 

474.  During  marches  and  all  active  operations,  generals  of  brigade 
keep  themselves  exactly  informed,  by  reports  of  corps  and  hy  their  in- 
spections, of  the  actual  strength  of  the  regiments,  so  as  always,  and 
especially  after  an  engagement,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
of  division. 

475.  Staff  officers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  service,  are  assigned  to  the  headquarters  of  ar- 
mies and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  general  com- 
manding-in-chief,  when  the  distribution  of  these  officers  lias  not  been 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.  The  necessary  staff  will  be  assign- 
ed to  commanders  of  brigades. 

470.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  officer  is  charged  with  directing  an 
expedition  or  making  a  reconnoisance,  without  having  command  of  the 
escort,  the  commander  of  the  escort  shall  consult  him  on  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  operation. 

477.  Staff  officers,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  re- 
port to  their  immediate  commanders  the  state  of  the  supplies  and  what- 
ever concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their  orders, 
and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their  superiors  in 
their  own  corps. 

47S.  The  senior  officer  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  departments 
of  the  general  staff  serving  at  the  chief  headquarters  in  the  field,  will 
transmit  to  the  bureau  of  his  department  at  Richmond,  at  the  close  of 
the  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  commander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  lull  report  of  the  operations  of  bis  department,  and  what- 
ever information  to  improve  its  service  he  may  be  ab  o  to  furnish. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  of  military 
works  executed  during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  defense. 

COXTRiniTTIONS. 

479.  When  the  wants  of  the  army  absolutely  require  it,  and  in  other 
cases,  under  special  instructions  from  the  War  Department,  the  general 
commanding  the  army  may  levy  contributions  in  money  or  kind  on  the 
enemy's  country  occupied  by  the  troops.  No  other  commander  can  levy 
such  contributions  without  written  authority  from  the  general  com- 
mandine-in  chief. 


480.  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  the  commander  of  an  army  de- 
termines and  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  orderlies,  mounted  or 
foot,  for  the  Generals,  and  the  corps  or  regiments  by  which  they  are  to 
be  supplied,  and  the  periods  at  which  they  shall  be  relieved.

.  d  depots  of  an  army  are  established  where  the  military 
itions  would  not  expose  them  to  be  broken  up.  Smaller  depots  arc 
organized  for  the  divisions  and  the  several  arms.  They  are  commanded 
by  officers  temporarily  disabled  for  field  service,  or  by  other  officers 
when  necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and 
r  convalescents.  When  conveniently  placed,  they  serve  as 
points  lor  the  halting  and  assembling  of  detachments.  They  receive 
the  disabled  from  tin1  corps  on  the  march  ;  and  the  officers  in  command 
of  the  nd  witl)  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depots

.     CAMPS. 

.  ("amp  is  the  place  where  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  huts, 
or  in  bivouac.  Cantonments  are  the  inhabited  places  which  ^troops 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in  barracks.  The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

issances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp. 
I',  r  a  camp  *  f  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessary  to  tool;  to  the 
health  and  comfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  tho  communications,  the 
convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources  in  provisions  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  camp  to  cover  n 
country,  or  one  designed  to  deceive  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of 
the  army,  muBt   be  selected,  and  tho  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in 

tnping-pnrty  of  a  regiment  consists  of  the  regimental 
Quartermaster  and  Qiiartermaster-iSergeunt,  and  a  porpornl  and  two 
men  per  company.     The  General   deoideB  whether  the  regiments  camp 

separately  or    together,  and   whether  the    police  guard  shall  accompany 
the  camping  party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  he  sent. 

489.   Neither  baggage  nor  led  horses  are  permitted  to  move  with  the 
camping  party. 

I.  When  the  General  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  camp,  he 
gives  his  instructions  to  the  chief  of  the  quartermaster's  Department, 
who  calls  on  the  regiments  lor  their  cam  ping-  par  ties,  ami  is  accompa- 
nied, if  necessary,  by  an  Engineer  to  propoge  the  defences  and  commu- 
nications. 

491.  Tho  watering-places  are  examined,  and  signals  placed  at  those

tliat  are  dangerous.  Any  work  required  to  make  them  of  easier  access 
is  done  by  the  police  guard  or  Quartermaster's  men.  Sentinels,  to  be 
relieved  by  the  guards  of  the  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
by  the  camping-partv  over  the  water  if  it  is  scan  e,  and  over  the  bouses 
and  stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping-party  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quar- 
termaster attends  to  these  things  as  soon  as  the  regiment  readies  the 
camp. 

493.  On  reaching  the  ground,  the  infantry  form  on  the  color  front ; 
the  cavalry  in  rear  of  its  rump. 

494.  The  Generals  establish  the  troops  in  camp  as  rapidly  us  possible, 
particularly  after  long,  fatiguing  marches. 

495.  The  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  for  guards,  pickets,  and 
orderlies  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  be  sent  for  supplies  ;  the  work  to  he 
done,  and  the  strength  of  the  working  parties  ;  the  time  and  place  for 
issues  ;  the  hour  of  marching,  &C,  are  then  announced  by  tho  Briga- 
dier-Generals to  the  Colonels,  and  by  them  t>  the  Held  officers — the 
Adjutant  and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  the  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  behind  their  Captains.  The  Adjutant  then  makes 
the  details,  and  the  First  Scrgjants  warn  the  men.  The  regimental 
officer  of  the  day  forms  the  picket,  ami  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts. 
The  colors  are  then  planted  at  the  centre  of  the  color  line,  and  the  arms 
are  stacked  on  the  line;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working  parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms  ;  the  men  not  on  detail  pitch 
the  tents. 

49G.  If  the  camp  is  near  the  cneni3r,  the  picket  remains  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  the  fatiguj  parties,  and,  if  necessary,  is  reinforced 
by  details  from  each  company. 

i  .497.  In  the  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  horses  are  to  he  seemed,  and  forms  in  one  rank;  the  men  then 
dismount ;  a  detail  is  made  to  hold  the  horses  ;  the  rest  stack  their  arms 
and  iix  the  picket  rope  ;  after  the  horses  are  attended  to,  the  tents  are 
pitched,  and  each  horseman  plaees  his  carbine  at  the  side  from  tho 
weather,  and  hangs  his  sabre  and  bridle  on  it. 

498.  The  standard  is  then  carried  to  the  tent  of  the  Colonel. 

499.  The  terms  front,  flank,  right,  left,  file,  and  rank,  have  the  same 
meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

500.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  to  the  front  of  the  troops. 
The  tents  are  arranged  in  ranks  and  files.  The  number  of  ranks  varies 
with  the  strength  of  the  companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents. 

501.  No  officer  will  be  allowed  to  occupy  a  house,  although  vieant 
and  on  the  ground  of  bis  camp,  except  by  permission  of  the  commander 
of  the  brigade,  who  shall  report  it  to  the  commander  of  the  division. 

502.  The  staff  officer  charged  with  establishing  the  camp  will  desig- 
nate the  place  for  the  shambles.     The  offal  will  be  buried. 

CAMP    OF    INFANTRV. 

503.  Eaeb  company  has  its  tents  in  two  files,  facing  on  a  street  per- 
pendicular to  the  color  line.  The  width  of  the  street  depends  on  the 
front  of  the  camp,  but  si  ould  not  be  less  than  five  paces.  The  interval 
between  the  ranks  of  tents  is  two  paces  ;  between  the  files  of  tents  of 
adjacent  companies,  two  paces  ;  between  regiments,  twenty-two  paces.

504.  Tho  color  line  is  ten  paces  in  front  of  the  front  rank  of  tents. 
The  kitchens  are  twenty  ]  aces  behind  the  rear  rank  of  company  tents  ; 
the  non-commissioned  Btaff  and  sutler,  twenty  paces  in  rear  of  the 
kitchen:  the  company  officers,  twenty  paces  farther  in  rear  ;  and  the 
fiehl  and  Btaff,  twenty  pact  b  in  rear  of  the  company  officers* 

505.  The  company  officers  are  in  rear  of  their  respective  companies  ; 
the  Captains  on  the  right.

si) ned  staff,  the  tents  facing  to  the  front,  the  stacks  of  arms  on  the  left. 

5.  T  e  ndvanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  about  2C0  paces  in 
front  of  the  color  line,  and  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment,  or  on  the 
hest  ground  ;  the  prisoners'  tent  about  four  paces  in  rear.  In  a  regi- 
ment of  the  second  line,  the  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  200 
paces  in  rear  of  the  line  of  its  field  and  staff. 

I.  The  horses  of  the  staff  officers  and  of  the  baggage  train  aro 
twenty  five  paces  in  rear  of  the  tents  of  the  field  and  staff;  the  wagons 
are  parked  on  the  same  line,  and  the  men  of  the  train  camped  near 
them. 

510.  The  sinks  of  the  men  are  150  paces  in  front  of  the  color  line — 
those  of  the  officers  100  paces  in  rear  of  the  train.  Both  arc  concealed 
by  bushes.  When  convenient,  the  sinks  of  the  men  may  be  placed  in 
tli"  rear  or  on  the  flank.  A  portion  of  the  earth  dug  out  for  sinks  to  be 
thrown  hark  occasionally. 

511.  The  front  of  the  camp  of  a  regiment  of  limO  men  in  two  ranks 
will  be  400  paces,  or  one-fifth  less  paces  than  the  number  of  files,  if  the 
camp  is  to  have  the  same  front  OS  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But 
the  front  may  he  reduced  to  190  paces  by  narrowing  the  company 
streets  to  five  paces;  and  if  it  be  desirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more, 
the  tents  of  companies  may  be  pitched  in  single  file — those  of  a  divis- 
ion facing  on  the  same  street. 

(AMP    OF    CAVALRY. 

512.  In  tho  cavalry,  each  company  has  one  file  of  tents — the  tents

the  opening  of  the  tents,  and  arc  fastened  to  pickets  planted  firmly  in 
the  ground,  from  three  to  six  paces  from  the  tents  of  the  troops. 

514.  The  interval  between  the  file  of  tents  should  he  such  that,  tho 
regimen!  being  broken  into  column  of  companies,  each  company  should 
be  on  the  extention  of  the  line  on  which  the  horses  are  to  be  picketed. 

515.  The  streets  separating  the  squadrons  are  wider  than  those 
between  the  companies  by  the  interval  separating  squadrons  in  line; 
these  intervals  are  kept  free  from  any  obstruction  throughout  the 
camp. 

51G.  The  horses  of  the  rear  rank  are  placed  on  the  left  of  those  of 
their  file  leaders.

CAMP    OF    ARTILLERY. 

525.— The  artillery  is  encamped  near  the  troops  to  which  it  is  attached, 
so  uo'tlo  be  protected  from  attack,  and  to  contribute  to  the  defense  of 
the  camp.  Sentinels  for  the  park  are  furnished  by  the  artillery,  and, 
wdien  necessary,  by  the  other  troops. 

526.  For  a  battery  of  six  pieces,  the  tents  are  in  three  files — one  for 
each  section;  distance  between  the  ranks  of  tents,  15  paces;  tents 
opening  to  the  front.  The  horses  of  each  section  are  picketed  in  one 
file,  10  paces  to  the  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  In  the  horse  artillery,  or  if 
the  number  of  horses  makes  it  necessary,  the  horses  are  in  two  files,  on 
the  right  and  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  The  kitchens  are  25  paces  in 
front  of  the  front  rank  of  tents.  The  tents  of  the  officers  are  in  the 
outside  files  of  company  tents,  2"»  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  rear  rank — 
the  Captain  on  the  right,  the  Lieutenants  on  the  left. 

527.  The  park  is  opposite  the  centre  of  the  camp,  40  paces  in  rear  of 
the  officer's  tents.  The  carriages  in  files  four  paces  apart  :  distance 
between  ranks  of  carriages  sufficient  for  the  horses  when  harnessed  to 
them;  the  park  guard  is  25  paces  in  rear  of  the  park.  The  sinks  for 
the  men,  150  paces  in  front  ;  for  the  officers,  100  paces  in  the  rear. 
The  harness  is  in  the  tents  of  the  men. 

BIVOUACS. 

528.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  the 
ground  to  be  occupied,  the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  right. 
The  horses  of  each  platoon  are  placed  in  a  single  row,  and  fastened  as 
prescribed  for  camps  ;  near  the  enemy,  they  remain  saddled  all  nijrht, 
with  slackened  girths.  The  arms  are  at  first  stacked  in  r  ear  of  each 
row  of  horses  ;  the  sabres,  with  the  bridles  bung  on  them'  are  placed 
against  the  stacks. 


.  A.NTONMENTS. 

529.  The  forage  is  placed  en  the  right  "f  each  row  of  horses.  Two 
Btable-guards  for  each  platoon  watch  the  hi 

530.  A  fire  for  each  plato  >n  is  m  ide  near  the  color  lino,  20  par 

tli.i  left  of  the  row  of  horses.  A  shelter  is  made  for  the  men  around 
the  fire,  if  possible,  and  each  man  then  stands  his  arms  and  hridlo 
against  the  Bhelter. 

531.  ' 'he  tires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the 
lino  of  those  for  the  irrn. 

532.  Tlie  intervals  between  the  squadrons  must  he  without  obstruc- 
tion throughout  the  whole  depth  of  the  bivouac. 

533.  The  interval  between  the  shelter-;  should  be  such  that  the  pla- 
toons can  take  up  a  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  he  fed  and  led  to  water.  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsad- 
dle, the  Baddies  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses. 

535.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  line,  on  tho 
ground  that  would  he  occupied  hy  the  tents  in  camp.  The  companies 
are  placed  around  them,  and,  it  possible,  construct  shelters.  When 
liable  to  surprise,  the  infantry  should  stand  to  arms  at  daybreak,  and 
the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitering  parties.  If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  apart  to  clean,  it  must  be  done  by  detach- 
ments, successively. 

CANTONMENTS. 

530.  The  cavalry  should  be  placed  under  shelter  whenever  the  dis- 
tance from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to 
form  for  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and  farm-houses,  with  large  stables 
and  free  access,  are  Bel ec ted  R»r  quartering  them.  t 

537.  Tjje  Colonel  indicates  the  place  of  assembling  in  ease  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  be  outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  should 
be  free,  the  retreat  upon  the  other  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading 
to  it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

538.  The  necessary  orders  being  given,  as  in  establishing  a  camp,  the 
picket  and  grand  guards  are  posted.  A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  are  marched  to  the  quarters. 

The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

539.  The  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  the  enemy, 
companies  or  platoons  should  he  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the 
same  houses.  If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  divided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     All  take  arms  at  daybreak. 

540.  When  cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  tho  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

oil.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  should  be  covered 
by  advanced  guards  and  natural  or  artificial  obstacles.  Cantonments 
taken  during  a  cessation  of  hostilities,  should  be  established  in  rear  of 
a  line  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  commandingMn-ohief 
assigns  the  limits  of  their  cantonments  to  the  divisions,  the  comman- 
ders of  divisions  to  brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post 
their  regiments.  The  position  for  each  corps  in  case  of  attack  is  care- 
fully pointed  out  by  the  Generals. 


HEADQUARTERS — ISSUES.  57 

HEADQUARTERS- 

542.  Generals  take  post  at  the  centre  of  their  commands,  on  the  main 
channels  of  communication.  If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the 
enemy,  the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARY    EXERCISES. 

543.  When  troops  remain  in  camp  or  cantonment  many  days,  the 
Colonels  require  them  to  be  exercised  in  the  school  of  the  battalion  and 
Bquadron.  Regiments  and  brigades  encamped  by  division  are  not 
united  for  drills  without  the  permission  of  the  General  of  division. 
The  troops  must  not  lie  exercised  at  the  firings  without  the  authority  of 
the  General  commanding  in-chief.  The  practice  of  the  drums  must 
never  begin  with  the  "general,"  or  the  "march  of  the  regiment;" 
nor  the  trumpets  with  the  sound  "  to  horse."  The  hour  for  practice  is 
always  announced. 

ORDERS. 

544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  are  car- 
ried by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff  officers.  When  orders  are 
carried  by  orderlies,  the  place  and  time  of  departure  will  be  marked  on 
them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt. 

PISPATCHES. 

545.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should  be  entrusted 
only  to  officers  to  whom  their  contents  can  be  confided.  In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  enemy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at  least  two  of  the  best  mounted  men  ;  should  avoid  towns  and  vil- 
lages, and  the  main  roads  ;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out-of- 
the-way  places.  Where  there  is  danger,  he  should  send  one  of  the  men 
in  advance,  and  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.  He  shoul  I 
be  adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  be  intimi- 
dated by  threats. 

WATCHWORDS. 

540.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  issued  daily  from  the  principal 
headquarters  of  the  command.  The  countersign  is  given  to  the  senti- 
nels and  noncommissioned  officers  of  the  gu.irds ;  the  parole  to  the 
commissioned  officers  of  guards.  The  parole  is  usually  the  name  of  a 
General;   the  countersign  of  a  battle. 

547.  When  the  parole  and  countersign  cannot  be  communicated  daily 
to  a  post  or  detachment  which  ought  to  use  the  same  as  the  main  body, 
a  series  of  words  may  lie  sent  for  some  days  in  advance. 

54S.  If  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of  the  guard  deserts  with  it, 
the  commander  on  the  spot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  the  case 
at  once  to  the  proper  superior,  that  immediate  notice  may  be  given  to 
headquarters. 

ISSUES. 

549.  At  what  time  and  for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
on  circumstances,  and  be  regulated  in  orders.  When  an  army  is  not 
moving,  rations  are  generally  issued  for  four  days  at  a  time.  Issues  to 
the  companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the   fatigues  to  receive  them,  are  su- 


58  ROSTER. 

perintended  by  an  officer  detailed  from  the  regiment.  Issues  are  made 
from  one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  the  right  and  left 
alternately.  An  issue  commenced  on  one  regiment  will  nut  be  inter- 
rupted for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if  it  had  been  in  place. 

THE    ROSTER,    OR   DETAILS    FOR   SERVICE. 

550.  The  duties  performed  by  detail  are  of  three  classes,  'i^hc  first 
class  comprises,  1st,  grand  guards  and  outposts  :  2d,  interior  guards,  as 
of  magazine,  hospital,  &c;  3d,  orderlies  ;  4th,  police  guards. 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st,  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
military  works,  as  field-works,  communications,  &o-;  2d,  working  par- 
ties on  such  works  ;  3d,  detachments  to  protect  fatigues. 

The  third  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the  cavalry,  stable-guards  form  a  separate  roster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

551.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  class.  Officers  are  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank.  The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the  roster,  beginning  at  tho  head. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  First  and  Second  Lieutenants 
are  entered  on  it  alternately.  The  senior  First  Lieutenant  is  the  first 
on  the  roster;  the  senior  Second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &o.  Tho 
Captains  form  one  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  su- 
perintend issues.  A  Captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is 
exempt  from  detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.  Lieutenant- 
Colonels  and  Majors  are  on  one  roster.  They  may  be  detailed  for  duties 
of  the  first  and  second  classes,  when  the  importance  of  the  guards  and 
detachments  requires  it.  Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade 
headquarters.  In  the  company,  Sergeants,  Corporals  and  privates  form 
distinct  rosters. 

553.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of 
the  first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz:  the  first  for  the  detail,  takes  the 
grand  guards ;  the  next,  the  interior  guards  ;  the  last,  the  police  guards  ; 
and  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  the  detads  and  duties  of  the  second 
class.  In  the  details  for  the  third  class,  tho  senior  officer  takes  the 
largest  party.     The  party  first  for  detail   takes  tho  service  out  of  camp. 

554.  When  the  officer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.  When  a 
guard  has  passed  tin- chain  of  sentinels,  or  an  interior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  officer  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then  take  it.  He  takes  the 
tour  of  tho  officer  who  has  taken  his.  When  an  officer  is  prevented  by 
sickness  from  taking  his  tour,  it  passes.  These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers. 

555.  Duties  of  tho  first  and  second  classes  are  credited  on  the  roster 
•when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or 
an  interior  guard  has  reached  its  post  :  fatigue  duties  when  the  parties 
have  passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

550-  Every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or  soldier  on  duty  of  the 
first  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  when  re- 
lieved, the  duty  of  the  second  or  third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him 
during  that  time,  unless  ho  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than 
twenty-four  hours. 

557.  Sjldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  duties  of  tho  first  class ; 


POLICE   GUARD.  59 

and  with  arms  and  equipments  complete  on  all  working  parties  out  of 
the  camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  In  the  cavalry,  horses  are  packed 
for  all  mounted  service. 

558.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are  not 
in  order,  are  preferred  for  the  detail  for  dismounted  service.  Tlioso 
who  are  mounted  are  never  employed  on  those  services,  if  the  number 
of  the  other  class  are  sufficient. 

559.  Every  non-commissioned  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  de- 
tailed for  dismounted  ser\ice  must,  befrre  he  marches,  take  to  the  First 
Sergeant  of  the  troop,  or  Sergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments 
and  his  valise  ready  packed.  Id  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  sees 
that  the  horses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  to  the  rendezvous. 

5G0.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  roster  apply  also  to  service  in  gar- 
rison. 

POLICE    GUARD. 

561.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consist- 
ing of  two  Sergeants,  three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough 
to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.  The  men  are  taken  from 
all  the  companies,  from  each  in  proportion  to  its  strength.  The  guard 
is  commanded  by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as 
regimental  officer  of  the  day.  It  furnishes  ten  sentinels  at  the  camp  ; 
one  over  the  arms  of  the  guard  ;  one  at  the  Colonel's  tent ;  three  on 
the  color  front — one  of  them  over  the  colors  ;  three,  fifty  paces  in  rear 
of  the  field  officers'  tents;  and  one  on  each  flank,  between  it  and  the 
next  regiment.  If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  mure  sentinel  is  posted  on 
the  outer  flank. 

562.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a  Sergeant,  a  Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  senti- 
nels and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.  The  men  are  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from  each  company.  The  men  of  the  advanced  post  must  not 
leave  it  under  any  pretext.  Their  meals  are  sent  to  the  post.  The  ad- 
vanced post  furnishes  three  sentinels;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
post,  opposite  the  right  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to 
see  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  the  arms. 

563.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men  are  emplcyed  in  preference  on 
the  police  guard.  The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession, 
a  part  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses.  The  advanced  post  is  always 
formed  of  mounted  men. 

564.  In  each  company,  a  Corporal  has  charge  of  the  stable-guard. 
His  tour  begins  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morning  stable-call.  The  stable- 
guard  is  large  enough  to  relieve  the  men  on  post  every  two  hours.  They 
sleep  in  their  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  Corporal  when  wanted.  At 
retreat  he  closes  the  streets  of  the  camp  with  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions to  prevent  the  escape  of  loose  horses. 

565.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  camp;  a  fatigue  is  furnished  to  him  when  the  number  of  pris- 
oners is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp.  He  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the 
drummer  of  the  guard. 

566.  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  the  same  honors  as 
other  guards.     They  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

567.  The  sentinel  over   the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  them  to 


00  TOLICE    (iUARD. 

be  moved,  except  in  presence  of  an  escort  ;  to  let  no  one  touch  tliem 
but  the  color-bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of  the  police  guard  when  lie  is 
accompanied  by  two  armed  men. 

5,  The  Bentinelfl  on  the  color  front  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  except  by  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  non-commissioned 
officer  of  the  guard.  The  sentinel  at  the  Colonel's  tent  has  orders  to 
warn  him,  day  or  night,  of  any  unusual  movement  in  or  about  the  camp. 

'.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  Hanks,  and  rear,  sec  that  no  soldier 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms,  unless  conducted  by  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer.  They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers 
from  passing  out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they  re- 
turn. They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  about  the 
cam])  ;  and  at  night,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  soldiers 
of  other  corps.  Arrested  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of  the  guard, 
who  sends  them,  if  necessary,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

570.  The  sentinels  en  the  front  of  the  advanced  post  have  orders  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  or  soUiiers  to  pass  the  line, 
without  reporting  at  the  advanced  post;  to  warn  the  advanced  post  of 
the  approach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  Sergeant  sends  persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body. 

571.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the 
prisoners  and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  Buffers  no  one  to  converse  with 
them  without  permission.  They  arc  only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks 
one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

572.  If  any  one  is  to  lie  paB6ed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the 
guard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant  of 
the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain. 

573.  At  retreat,  the  office-  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspect  arms,  to  see  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order  ;  and 
visits  the  advanced  post  for  the  same  purpose.  The  Sergeant  of  the 
police  guard,  accompanied  by  two  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  colors  and 
lays  them  on  the  trestle  in  the  rear  of  the  arms.  He  sees  that  the  sut- 
ler's stores  arc  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the  kitchen 
fires  are  put  out  at  the  appointed  hour. 

574.  The  o|]i,>r  of  the  day  satisfies  himself  frequently  during  tho 
night  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  lie 
prescribes  patrols  and  rounds  to  ho  made  by  the  officer  and  Don-com- 
missioned officers  of  the  guard.  The1  officer  of  the  guard  orders  them 
when  lie  thinks  neeessary.      Ho  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

'.   At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  ;  the  officer  of  the  guard 

inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.     The  Sergeant  re-plants  the  colors  in 

place.     At  retreat  and  reveille  the  advanced  post   takes    arms  ;    the 

Sergeant  makes  his  report  to  tho  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the 

■ 

570.  When  necessary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  night  with  small  out- 
posts, forming  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posts  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard,  and  are  visited  by  his  pat- 
rols and  rounds. 

577.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
including  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  tho  guard  is  marched 
off,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 


POLICE   GUARD.  61 

578.  When  the  regiment  marches,  the  men  of  the  police  guard  return 
to  their  companies,  except  those  of  the  ndvaneed  post.  In  the  cavalry, 
at  the  sound  "  boot  and  saddle,''  the  officer  of  the  guard  semis  one-half 
the  men  to  saddle  and  pack  ;  when  the  regiment  assembles,  all  the  men 
join  it. 

579.  When  the  camping  party  precedes  the  regiment,  and  the  new 
police  guard  marches  with  the  camping  party,  the  guard,  on  reaching 
the  camp,  forms  in  line  thirty  paces  in  front  of  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.  The  officer  of  the  guard  furnishes  the  senti- 
nels required  by  the  commander  of  the  camping  party. 

The  advanced  post  takes  its  station. 

580.  The  advanced  post  of  the  old  police  guard  takes  charge  of  the 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  marches,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  centre  of 
the  regiment.  On  reaching  the  camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  the 
new  advanced  post. 

581.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty 
of  first  class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  t lie  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  designed  to  furnish  detachments  and  guards  unexpectedly  called 
for  in  the  twenty-four  hours  ;  k  counts  as  a  tour  of  the  first  class  to 
those  who  have  marched  on  detachment  or  guard,  or  who  have  passed 
the  night  in  bivouac. 

582.  The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  picket 
are  at  all  times  dressed  and  equipped  ;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and 
knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  he  put  on. 

583.  Detachments  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  the 
head  of  the  picket  roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible,  equally  from 
each  company.  The  picket  of  a  regiment  is  composed  of  a  Lieutenant, 
two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about  f.  rty  privates. 
For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  the 
detachment. 

584.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachment  or 
guard  before  retreat,  will  be  replaced. 

585.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting;  it 
is  pouted  twelve  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  guard,  and  is  inspected  by  its 
own  commander.  When  the  guard  has  marched  in  review,  the  com- 
mandant of  the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  of  the  police  guard,  where 
it  stacks  its  arms,  and  is  dismissed  ;  the  arms  are  under  charge  of  the 
sentinel  of  the  police  guard. 

58G.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  offi- 
cer of  the  day.     It  forms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  the  roll  of  the  picket  to  be  called 
frequently  during  the  day  ;  the  call  is  sounded  from  the  police  guard. 
At  roll-calls  ami  inspections,  infantry  pickets  assemble  with  knapsacks 
on;  cavalry  on  foot.  The  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat;  the  i  fficer 
has  the  roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their 
tents,  but  without  undressing. 

588.  The  picket  does  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm, 
or  when  the  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march  ;  then  the  officer  of  the  day 
calls  the  officers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  these  the 
men,  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to  call; 
they  are  assembled  without  beat  of  drum  or  other  noise.  At  night, 
cavalry  pickets  assemble  mounted. 


62  GRAND    GUARDS. 

580.  Pickets  rejoin  tlicir  companies  whenever  the  regiment  is  under 
arms  for  review,  drill,  march,  or  battle. 

GRAND    GUARDS    AND   OTHER    OUTPOSTS. 

500.  Gnind  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  n  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.  Their  Dumber,  strength  and 
position  are  regulated  by  the  commanders  of  brigades ;  in  detached 
corps,  by  the  commanding  officer.  When  it  can  be,  the  grand  guards 
of  cavalry  and  infantry  are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  ad- 
vanced Bentinels.  When  the  cavalry  is  weak,  the  grand  guards  are  in- 
fantry, but  furnished  with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,  to  get  and  carry  in- 
telligence of  the  enemy. 

591.  The  strength  of  a  grand  guard  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  tho  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy,  and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.  It  is 
usually  commanded  by  a  Captain. 

592.  Under  the  supervisions  of  the  Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direction  of  a  field  officer  of 
the  day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity,  Captains  may  be  added 
to  the  roster  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and  Majors  for  this  detail. 

503.  .Stall' officers  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspect  the  posts 
of  grand  guards,  give  them  orders  only  in  urgent  cases,  and  in  the  ab- 
sence of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade. 

594.  Grand  guards  usually  mount  at  the  same  timo  as  the  other 
guards,  but  may  mount  before  daybreak  if  the  General  of  Brigade 
thinks  it  necessary  to  double  the  outposts  at  that  time.  In  this  case 
thej  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march  throw 
out  scouts  ;  this  precaution  should  always  be  taken  in  the  first  posting 
of  a  grand  guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and  fa- 
tigues the  men,  and  should  seldom  be  resorted  U>,  and  never  when  pre- 
paring to  march  or  fight. 

595.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  first  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the  day,  guided  by  a  staff  officer  who  accompanied 
the  General  in  his  reconnoisance.  After  tl  c  post  has  been  established, 
the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  when  necessary,  a 
eoldierof  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  post.  He  also 
Bends  to  him  in  the  evening  a  Corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  for 
the  note  containing  the  parole  ana  countersign,  and  sends  them  before 
dark  to  the  detached  posts,  lie  will  not  Buffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved 
except  by  a  jruard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  order-. 

596.  If  there  is  no  pnss  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guards 
are  placed  D  ar  the  centre  of  the  ground  they  are  to  observe,  on  shel- 
tered, and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength 
and  observe  the  enemy  ;  they  ought  not  to  be  placed  near  the  edge  of  a 
wood.  When,  during  the  day.  thej  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

597.  In  broken  or  in  mountainous  countries,  ami  particularly  if  the 
inhabitants  are  ill-disposed,  intermediate  posts  must  be  established 
when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  {>rand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

18.  Grand  guards  are  chiefly  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  posts  to 
protect  their  rear  and  secure  their  retreat. 


GKAND   GUARDS.  Go 

599.  Grand  guards  arc  seldom  intrenched,  and  never  without  the  or- 
ders of  the  General,  except  by  a  barricade  or  ditch  when  exposed  in  a 
plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

600-  The  General  of  Division,  if  he  thinks  proper,  changes  the  sta- 
tions and  orders  of  these  guards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  the 
brigades  or  protect  the  exterior  flanks. 

601.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  officer  of  the  day  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy  ;  then  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  mads,  bridges,  finds,  and  defiles. 
This  reconnoisance  determines  the  force  and  position  of  the  small  posts 
and  their  sentinels  day  and  night.  These  posts,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, are  commanded  by  officers  or  non-commissioned  officers;  the 
cavalry  posts  may  be  relieved  even7  four  or  eight  hours. 

602.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  receives  detailed  instructions 
from  the  General  and  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade,  and  in- 
structs the  commanders  of  the  small  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  defence  or  retreat.  The  commanders  of  grand 
guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  positions  of  the  small  posts. 
If  the  small  posts  are  to  change  their  positions  at  night,  they  wait  until 
the  grand  guard  have  got  into  position  and  darkness  hides  their  move- 
ments from  the  enemy;  then  march  silently  and  rapidly  under  the 
charge  of  an  officer. 

603.  In  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  picked  men  are  at  night  sent 
forward  on  the  roads  by  which  the  enemy  may  attack  or  turn  the  posi- 
tion. They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  them- 
selves, light  no  fires,  and  often  change  place.  They  announce  the  ap- 
proach of  the  enemy  by  signals  agreed  upon,  and  retreat,  by  routes 
examined  during  the  da}r,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at 
daybreak. 

604.  Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case,  and  the  follow- 
ing in  all  cases  :  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  Held  officer  of  the 
day,  or  the  General  of  Brigade,  of  the  march  and  movements  of  the 
enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear  ;  to  examine  every  per- 
son passing  near  the  post,  particularly  those  coming  from  without;  to 
arrest  suspicious  persons,  and  all  soldiers  and  camp-followers  who  try 
to  pass  out  without  permission,  and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  other- 
wise directed,  all  country  people  who  come  in. 

605.  All  out-guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  pat- 
rols, rounds,  or  other  parties  :  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to 
call  them  out. 

606.  Advanced  posts  will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony 
when  it  would  expose  them  to  the  view  of  the  enemy. 

0U7.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of  tel- 
egraphic signals. 

608.  The  sentinels  and  videttes  are  placed  on  points  from  which  they 
can  see  farthest,  taking  care  not  to  break  their  connection  with  each 
other  or  with  their  posts.  They  are  concealed  from  the  enemy  as  much 
as  possible  by  walls,  or  trees,  or  elevated  ground.  It  is  generally  even 
of  more  advantage  not  to  be  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should  not  be 
placed  near  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

609.  A  sentinel  should  always  be  ready  to  fire,  videttes  carry  their 
pistols  or  carbines  in  their  hands.     A  sentinel  must  be  sure  of  the 


64  QEAND   QUA&DS. 

presence  of  an  enemy  before   lie  fire-  ;   once   satisfied   of  that,  lie  must 
fire,  though  all  defense  on  his  part  be  useless,  as  the  safety  of  the 
may  depend  on  it.     Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

610.    If  the  post  must  lie  where  a  sentinel  i>n  it  ran  not  communicate 

with  the  guard,  n  corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  '>ne  may  communicate  with  the  guard. 
During  the  day  the  communication  may  he  made  by  Bignals,  Buch  as 
raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low 
ground,  the  better  to  see  objects  against  the  sky. 

Gil.  To  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  from 
being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well  to  precede  the  countersign  by  sig- 
nals, such  as  striking  the  musket  with  tiie  hand,  striking  the  hands  to- 
gether, &c. 

612.  On  the  approach  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders — 
"  Hall!"  If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  lie  fires.  If 
obeyed,  he  calls — "  Who  </ocs  there?"  If  answered — "Rounds"  or 
"  Patrol,"  he  says — "Advance  with  the  countersign."  If  more  than  one 
advance  at  the  snne  time,  or  the  person  who  alvances  fails  to  give  the 
countersign  or  signal  agreed  on.  the  sentinel  fires,  and  falls  back  on  his 
guard.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon  as  his  hail  is  answered, 
turns  out  the  guard,  and  the  Corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre.  When  it  is 
desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  Bentinel  from  the  enemy,  the  hail 
is  replaced  by  signals  ;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approach- 
ing the  counter  signal. 

G13.  "With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  nu- 
merous or  active,  and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night 
stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  be  doubled.  In  this  case,  while  one 
watches,  the  other  called  a  Hying  sentinel,  moves  about,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

614.  'I'h nmandants  of  grand   guards  visit  the  sentinels  often; 

change  their  positions  when  necessary  ;  make  them  repeat  their  orders; 
teach  them  under  what  circumstances  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  guard  if  pursued,  but  to 
lead  the  enemy  i.i  a  circuit. 

615.  At  night,  half  the  men  of  the  grand  guard  oft' post  watch  under 
arms,  while  the  rest  lie  down,  anus  by  their  side.  The  horses  are  al- 
ways bridled  ;   the  horsemen  bold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

616.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is  so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  be  fed  during  the  night,  unbridling  for  this  purpose  a  few  at  a  time 
— the  horsemen  being  vigilant  to  prevent  them  from  escaping. 

617.  An  hour  before  break  of  day,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arms,  and  cavalry  mount.  At  the  advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry 
are  all  night  under  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback. 

618.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
hours,  ami  the  march  of  patrol s  and  rounds,  according  to  the  strength 
of  his  troon  and  the  necessity  for  precaution  ;  ami,  accompanied  by 
those  who  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  he 
will  reconnoitre  all  the  routes  they  are  to  follow. 

Gl'J.  Patrols  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great 
precaution;  halt  frequently  to  listen,  and  examine  the  ground.     The 


(illAND    ROUNDS.  65 

rounds  consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissioned  officer,  and  two  or  three 
men. 

G20.  Toward  the  break  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent, 
and  sent  to  greater  distances.  They  examine  the  hollow-ways,  and 
ground  likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  but  with  great  caution,  to  avoid  be- 
ing cut  off,  or  engaged  in  an  unequal  comhat  ;  if  they  meet  the  enemy, 
they  fire  and  attempt  to  stop  his  inarch.  While  the  patrols  are  out  the 
posts  are  under  arms. 

621.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  a  greater  distance 
than  infantry,  and  report  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  they  observe. 
The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight ; 
and  when  they  return,  the  night  sentinels  are  withdrawn,  and  the  posts 
for  the  day  resumed. 

G2'2.  When  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  the  posts  and 
sentinels  should  he  warned. 

G23.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regard  to  the 
ground  and  every  thing  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  the 
enemy,  or  of  his  posts,  and  the  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  reports 
to  the  field  officer  of  the  day. 

G24.  The  fires  of  the  grand  guards  should  lie  hidden  by  a  wall,  or 
ditch  or  other  screen.  To  deceive  the  enemy,  (ires  are  sometimes  made 
on  ground  not  occupied.  Fires  are  not  permitted  at  small  posts  liable 
to  surprise. 

625.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments  ; 
during  which  the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

6'26.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guards, 
he  stops  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  day,  and  warns  the  post  near  him. 

G27.  Bearers  of  flags  are  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chain  of  sen- 
tinels ;  their  faces  are  turned  from  the  post  of  army;  if  necessary  their 
eyes  are  bandaged  ;  a  non-commissioned  officer  stays  with  them  to  pre- 
vent indiscretion  of  the  sentinels. 

G28.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
sends  them  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  hearer  ;  but  if  he  has  discovered  what  ought  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,  he  is  detained  as  long  as  necessary. 

629.  Deserters  are  disarmed  at  the  advanced  posts,  ami  sent  to  the 
commander  of  the  grand  guard,  who  gets  from  them  all  the  inf  >rmati<  n 
he  can  concerning  his  post.  If  many  come  at  night  they  are  received 
cautiously,  a  Jew  at  a  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morning  to  the  field 
officer  of  the  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  be  conducted  to  the 
General  of  the  brigade.  All  suspected  persons  are  searched  by  com- 
manders of  the  posts. 

630.  When  an  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too  great 
force,  or  the  grand  guard  is  to  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it 
will  take  positions  and  execute  the  movements  to  check  the  enemy,  act- 
ing as  skirmishers,  or  fighting  in  (dose  or  open  order,  as  may  lie  best. 
The  guard  joins  its  corps  when  in  line,  or  when  a  sufficient  number  of 
troops  have  reached  the  ground  it  defends. 


G6  ENTRBNCELKD    POSTS. 

ENTRENCHED    POSTS- 

631.  Unless  the  army  1  e  acting  on  the  defensive,  no  post  should  bo 
intrenched,  except  to  cover  the  weak  parte  of  the  Hue,  or  at  points 
which  the  enemy  cannot  avoid,  or  in  mountain  warfare,  or  to  the 

of  a  defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters. 

2,  Posts  connected  with  the  operations  of  an  army  are  intrenched 
only  by  order  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief  or  a  General  of  Di- 
vision. 

033.  An}'  intrcnchment  that  requires  artillery  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

634.  The  General  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defense,  and  the  circum- 
stances under  which  the  defense  should  cease. 

635.  The  commander  reconnoiters  his  post;  distributes  the  troops ; 
posts  (he  officers  and  noncommissioned  officers  ;  forms  a  reserve  ;  gives 
orders  for  all  contingencies  he  can  foresee;  supposes  an  attack,  and  ar- 
ranges his  troops  fur  defence,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  an  attack,  day  or 
night. 

630.  In  dark  weather  he  redonbles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  tho 
hours  and  direction  of  the  rounds  and  parols.  lie  permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters  or  Btrangers  to  enter.  If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, 
be  bandages  his  eyes.  He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  or  any  other 
party  until  he  has  carefullj  examined  them.  In  ease  of  an  attack,  he 
does  not  wait  for  i  rders  or  hold  a  council.  Having  defended  his  post 
to  the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defense,  according  to  his 

instructions,  is  answered,  he  may  then  spike    his    guns    and    rejoin   the 
army  under  cover  of  night,  or  by  cutting    his  way  through  the  enemy. 

di:ta(  ii.mf.nts. 

GST.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  the  different  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles 
it,  and  turns  it  over  to  the  commander. 

638.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  tho 
Assistant  Adjutant-General  in  each,  forms  the  contingent  of  the  brigade, 
and  sends  it  to  the  place  of  assembling. 

639.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  tura,  according  to  the  roster  for  such 
detail. 

(i  10.  When  the  detachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  company 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  itis 
to  go  on  detachment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved 
from  the  duty  they  are  on,  if  they  can  reach  the  camp  in  time  to  march 
with  the  detachment. 

642.  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  is  regulated  while  they 
serve  together  as  if  they  formed  one  detachment.  But  the  senior  offi- 
cers cannot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detachment  from  moving, 
when  he  thinks  proper,  to  execute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

643  On  the  return  of  a  detachment,  the  commander  reports  to  the 
head-quarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 


RECONNOISANCJBS — PARTISANS    AND    FLANKERS.  67 

RECONNOISANCES. 

644.  Near  an  enemy,  daily  reconnoisances  nre  made  to  observe  the 
ground  in  front,  and  to  discover  whether  the  advanced  guards  of  the 
enemy  have  heen  increased  .  r  put  in  motion,  or  any  other  sign  of  his 
preparation  for  march  or  action. 

G45.  They  are  made  bj  small  parties  of  cavalrv  and  infantry,  from 
the  brigade,  under  direction  of  the  General  of  Division  or  the  General 
of  a  separate  brigade,  and  to  less  distance  by  the  pastoral  of  the  grand 
guard,  and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route.  On 
the  plain,  reconnoisances  are  made  by  cavalry  ;  among  mountains,  by 
infantry,  with  a  few  horsemen  to  carry  intelligence. 

646.  Reeonnoitering  parties  observe  the  following  precautions:  to 
leave  small  posts,  or  sentinels  at  intervals,  to  transmit  intelligence  to 
the  advanced  posts  of  an  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  be  by  a  different 
route;  to  march  with  caution,  to  avoid  fighting:  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen  :  to  kefp  an  advanced  guard  ;  to  send  well  mounted 
men  ahead  of  the  advanced  guard  :  and  on  the  flank  of  the  party;  to 
instruct  the  scouts  that  no  two  should  enter  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill  to- 
gether, but  to  go  one  at  a  time,  while  one  watches  to  carry  the  news  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

647.  Before  daybreak  the  advanced  guard  and  scouts  are  drawn 
closer  ;  the  party  then  march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to 
listen,  and  keep  the  horses  that  neigh  in  the  rear.  The  party  should 
enter  no  wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until  it  has  been  fully  ex- 
amined by  the  scouts. 

I'lX.  Special  reconnoisances  are  made  under  the  instruction  of  the 
General  in  command,  by  such  officers  and  with  such  force  as  he  may 
direct. 

649.  Offensive  or  forced  reconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty 
points  in  the  enemv's  position,  or  his  strength.  They  are  sometimes 
preludes  to  real  actions,  and  sometimes  only  demonstrations.  They 
drive  in  his  outposts,  and  sometimes  engage  special  corps  (,f  his  line. 
They  are  only  made  by  order  of  the  General  commandiog-in-chief,  or 
the  commander  of  an  isolated  corps. 

G50.  In  all  reports  of  reconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  expressly  what  he  has  seen  from  the  accounts  he  has  not 
been  aide  to  verify  personally. 

651.  In  special  and  offensive  reconnnoisances,  the  report  must  be  ac- 
companied by  a  field-sketch  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  defen- 
ces of  the  enemy. 

PARTISANS    AND    FLANKERS. 

652.  The  operations  uf  partisan  corps  depend  on  the  nature  and 
theatre  of  the  war  ;  thay  enter  into  the  general  plan  of  operations,  and 
are  conducted  under  the  orders  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief. 

653.  The  composition  and  strength  of  partisan  corps  and  detachment 
of  flankers  depend  on  the  object,  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  the 
probable  time  of  the  expedition. 

G.")4.  The  purpose  of  these  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  dis- 
tance on  the  flanks  of  the  army,  to  protect  its  operations,  to  deceive  the 
enemy,  to  interrupt  his  communications,  to  intercept  his  couriers  and 
his  correspondence,  to  threaten  or  destroy  his  magazines,  to  carry  off 


68  MABOHES. 

his  posts  and  bis  oonvojs,  W,  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  march  by 
making  bim  detach  largely  for  their  protection. 

055.  While  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  nnd  embarrass  his  opera- 
tinns,  they  endeavor  to  inspire  confi  lence  and  secure  the  good  will  of 
the  inhabitants  in  a  friendly  country,  and  to  hold  them  in  cheek  in  an 
enemy's  country. 

656.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  different  points,  in 
Buch  a  manner  as  ta  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  the:r  force,  or  to 
tell  whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

7.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  secrecy,  energy,  and  prompt- 
ness. The  partisan  commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem 
and  audacity  what  he  wants  in  numbers. 

3.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of  different  arms, 
but  the  service  belongs  more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalry,  which 
can  move  to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemy,  attack 
unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  promptly. 

G59.  Stormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  night  above  all, 
are  favorable  to  the  success  of  ambuscades  ;  when  the  enemy  are  care- 
less, the  break  of  day  is  the  best  time.  A  partisan  commander  should 
communicate  to  bis  second  in  command,  his  secret  orders,  the  direction 
and  object  of  the  expedition,  and  the  different  points  of  junction  with 
the  army. 

GGO.  Guides  of  the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  the  parti- 
san.    They  are  examined   separately,  and  confronted  if  their  aci us 

differ.  When  there  is  but  one  guide,  he  marches  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two  men,  and  bound  if  necessary.  Peddlers  and 
BUHlgglers  arc  specially  suitable  fur  spies. 

661.  A  lit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
park,  or  when  they  arc  watering,  passing  a  wood  or  a  defile;  at  a  bend 
of  th"  road,  a  bridge  or  steep  ascent, 

ii'i_'.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry. The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the  escort.  A  part  of  the  de- 
tachment attacks  the  main  body  of  the  escort,  another  the  wagons,  and 
a  third  is  in  reserve  ;  skirmishers  line  the  road,  and  try  to  cut  the 
traces,  and  to  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagons,  and  turn  them  across  the 
mad,  to  prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating. 

'..  If  (he  convoy  is  parked,  the  cavalry  surrounds  it,  assails  the  es- 
cort, and  tries  to  draw  it  away  from  the  train.  Ihe  infantry  then  en- 
gage the  troops  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under  the  wagons,  and  get 
into  the  park.  When  the  cavalry  is  alone  and  the  enemy  are  shaken, 
they  disni'  nut  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

GG4-  If  it  is  a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  the  cen- 
tre ;  the  most  valuable  wagons  are  also  selected  and  additional  horses 
arc  put  to  them  if  the  attack  is  successful.  Those  that  cannot  be  car- 
ried oil"  arc  burned. 

MARCHES. 

GG5.  The  object  of  the  movement  and  the  nature  of  the  ground  deter- 
mine the  order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and  the 
number  of  columns. 

GGG.  The  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  as  circumstances  per- 
mit, without  weakening  any  one  too  much.     They  ought  to  preserve 


MARCHES.  69 

their  communications,  and  be  within  supporting  distance  of  each  other. 
The  commander  of  each  column  ought  to  know  the  strength  and  direc- 
tion of  the  others. 

607.  The  advance  and  rear  guards  are  usually  light  troops  ;  their 
strength  and  composition  depend  on  the  nature  of  the  ground  and  the 
position  of  the  enemy.  They  serve  to  cover  the  movements  of  the 
army,  and  to  hold  the  enemy  in  check  until  the  General  has  time  to 
make  his  arrangements. 

G68.  The  advance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  the  column  ;  in 
a  march  to  a  (lank,  it  takes  such  positions  us  cover  the  movement. 
Sappers  are  attached  to  the  advanced  guard  if  required. 

669.  The  "general,"  sounded  one  hour  before  the  time  of  marching, 
is  the  signal  to  strike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  and 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assembling.  The  fires  are  then  put  out,  and 
care  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &o.,  or  giving  to  the  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

670.  The  "march,"  will  he  b  at  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "advance" 
sounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  as  each  is  to  take  its  place  in  the 
column, 

671.  When  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the  enemy,  the 
"ton;/  roll"  is  beat,  and  "to  hor.se''  sounded.  The  troops  form  rapidly 
in  front  of  their  camp. 

672.  Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  the  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached ;  the  field  train  ai.d  ambulances  march  at  tho 
rear  of  the  column  ;  ami  the  baggage  with  the  rear  guard. 

073.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  together,  unless  the  prox- 
imity of  the  enemy  makes  it  necessary. 

674.  In  cavalry  inarches,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  regi- 
ment, and,  if  possible,  each  squadron,  forms  a  separate  column,  in  order 
to  keep  up  the  same  gait  from  front  to  rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable, 
on  good  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavalry  may  leave  camp  later,  and 
can  give  more  rest  to  the  horses,  and  more  attention  to  the  shoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

675.  When  necessary,  the  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  are  to 
carry  in  tlieir  haversacks.  The  field  officers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tions frequently  during  the  march  ;  at  halts  they  examine  the  knap- 
Backs,  valises  and  haversacks,  and  throw  away  all  articles  not  au- 
thorized. The  officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  of  cavalry  compa- 
nies attend  personally  To  the  packs  and  girths. 

676.  When  it  can  he  avoided,  troops  should  not  he  assembled  on  high 
roads  or  other  places  where  they  interrupt  the  communication. 

677.  Generals  of  Division  and  commanders  of  detached  corps  send  a 
staff  officer  to  the  rendezvous,  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who, 
on  arriving,  take  their  place  in  the  order  of  battle,  and  form  in  closo 
column,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  Artillery,  or  trains  halted  on  the 
ron  Is,  form  in  file  on  one  side. 

07^.  The  execution  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  tho 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  are  to  march,  tho 
next  in  rank  puts  the  column  in  m  ition. 

679.  [f  possible,  each  column  is  preceded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers, 
to  remove  obstacles  to  the  march,  aided,  when  necessary,  by  infantry, 
or  the  poi  pie  of  the  country.     The  detachment  is  divided  into  two  sec- 


70  MARCHES. 

lions:  one  stops  to  remove  the  first  obstacle,  the  other  moves  on  to  tho 
next. 

680.  In  night  marches,  and  at  bad  places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
sary,  intelligent  aon  commissi  med  officers  are  posted  to  show  tho 

way.  and  arc  relieved  bv  the  regiments  a-  they  come  up. 

681.  On  tlie  inarch,  r.o  one  shall  fire  a  gun,  or  cry  "halt,"  or  "march," 
without  orders. 

682.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water;  the  canteens  should  be  filled 
before  starting. 

683.  It  is  better  to  avoid  villages;  but  if  the  route  lies  through  thorn, 
officers  and   non-commissioned    officers  are    to  be  vigilent  to  prevent 

ling.     Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

684.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  the  last  legiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

685.  In  night  marches,  the  Sergeant-Major  of  each  regiment  remains 
at  the  rear  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness 'or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in  rear  of  each 
squadron,  and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

6.  The  General  and  field  officers  frequently  stop,  or  send  officers  to 
the  rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep 
their  distances.  To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colo- 
nels, and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.  It  is  repeated  in  all  the  regi- 
ments. 

687.  In  approaching  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned  ;  they  close 
their  regiments  as  they  come  up;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an 
rated  pace,  and  in  as  close  order  as  possible.  The  leading  regi- 
ment having  passed,  and  left  loom  enough  for  the  whole  co'umn  in 
■  order,  then  halts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is 
through.  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to 
rejoin  the  column,  takes  its  original  order  of  march. 

I.  When  the  distance  from  the  enemy  permits,  each  regiment, 
after  closing  up  in  front  and  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

I.  Halts  to  rest  and  rc-f  >rm  the  troops  are  frequent  during  the 
day,  depending  on  the  object  and  length  of  the  march.  They  are  mado 
in  preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

690.  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts. 

691.  The  Bick  march  with  the  wagons. 

692.  Led  horses  of  officers,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagons  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  Held  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place  in 
the  e  ilnmn,  he  designates  the  position  they  shall  take. 

693.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  sanje  road,  they  pass  to  the  right,  and 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough  ;  if  it  is  not.  the 
first  in  the  order  of  battle  takes  the  road,  the  other  halts. 

694.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  by  another.  If  two  corps 
meet  at  cross-roads,  that  which  arrives  last  halts  if  the  other  is  in  mo- 
tiii.  A  corps  in  march  passes  a  corps  at  a  halt,  if  it  has  precedence 
in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  the  halted  corps  is  not  ready  to  move  at 
once. 

695.  A  column  that  halts  to  lot  another  column  pass  resumes  the 


BATTLES.  71 

march  in  advance  of  the  train  of  this  column.  If  a  column  has  to  pass 
a  train,  the  train  must  halt,  if  necessary,  till  the  column  passes.  The 
column  which  has  precedence  must  yield  it  if  the  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 

battt.es. 

696.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  en  the  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  troops  opposed,  on  the  ground,  and  on  the  objects  of  the  war; 
but  the  following  rules  are  to  be  observed  generally  : 

697.  In  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  the  ene- 
my's outposts,  or  cut  them  off  from  the  main  hod}-.  Having  done  so, 
or  driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing,  all  the  points  that  can 
cover  or  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army,  or  secure  its  retreat,  such  as 
bridges,  defiles,  woods,  and  heights  ;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy 
the  enemy,  without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  them  as  to  the 
march  and  projects  of  the  army. 

698-  When  the  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  the 
commandant  of  the  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under  intelligent  offi- 
cers to  the  right  and  left,  to  ascertain  his  position  and  movements.  If 
he  does  not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by 
demonstrations;  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  the  main  body; 
makes  false  attacks  ;  partial  and  impetuous  charges  in  echelon  ;  and  if 
all  fail,  he  makes  a  real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

699.  Detachments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  the 
rear,  rejoin  it  when  other  troops  come  up.  If  the  army  takes  a  posi- 
tion, and  the  advanced  guard  is  separated  from  it  by  defiles  or  heights, 
the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  from  the  main  body. 

700.  At  proper  distance  from  the  enemy,  the  troops  are  formed  for 
the  attack  in  several  lines;  if  only  two  can  be  formed,  some  battalions 
in  column  are  placed  behind  the  wings  of  the  second  line.  The  lines 
may  be  formed  of  troops  in  column  or  in  order  of  battle,  according  to 
the  ground  and  plan  of  attack. 

701.  The  advanced  guard  may  be  put  in  the  line  or  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  to  aid  the  pursuit  or  cover  the  retreat. 

702.  The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best  troops  of  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory  or  make  good  a  retreat.  It  is  placed  in  the  tear  of 
the  centre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defence. 

703.  The  cavalry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and 
at  the  centre,  on  favorable  ground. 

704.  It  should  be  instructed  not  to  take  the  gallop  until  within 
charging  distance;  never  to  receive  a  charge  at  a  halt,  but  to  meet  it, 
or,  if  not  strong  enough,  to  retire  manoeuvring  ;  and  in  order  to  be 
ready  for  the  pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a  reverse,  or  the  attacks  of 
the  reserve,  not  to  engage  all  its  squadrons  at  once,  but  to  reserve  one 
third,  in  column  or  in  echelon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear  of  one  of  the 
wings  ;  this  arrangement  is  better  than  a  second  line  with  intervals. 

705.  In  the  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  the  batteries 
that  protect  the  position.  In  the  defence,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  fire 
on  the  advancing  troops.  In  either  case,  as  many  pieces  are  united  as 
possible,  the  fire  of  artillery  being  formidable  in  proportion  to  its  con- 
centration. 

706.  In  battles  and  military  operations  it  is  better  to  assume  the 


(2  BATT 

offensive,  and  put  the  enemy  on  the  defensive  ;  but  to  be  safe  in  doing 
so  requires  a  larger  force  tbnn  the  enemy,  t>r  better  t r^ >> 'p-^.  and  favora- 
ble ground.     When  obliged  to  net  <>n   the  defensive,  the  advantage  i  f 

position  and  of  making  the  attack  may  -  toured  by  form- 

ing in  rear  of  tlie  ground  on  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at 
the  moment  of  action.  In  mountain  warfare,  the  nssailant  has  always 
the  disadvantage ;  and  even  in  offensive  warfare,  in  the  open  field,  it 
may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the  ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy 
and  compel  him  to  attack. 

7(i7.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  on  the  defen- 
sive point  of  the  enemy's  position,  by  marking  tliis  by  false  attacks  and 
demonstrations  on  other  points,  and  "by  concealing  the  troops  intended 
for  it  by  the  ground  or  by  other  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan 
of  the  enemy,  the  wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported 
by  troops  in  echelon  ;  if  the  -attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offen- 
sive must  at  once  be  taken,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disconcert  the  ene- 
my, and  often  to  decide  the  action,  In  thus  taking  the  offensive,  a 
close  column  should  be  pushed  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  Hank  of  the 
enemy.  The  divisions  of  this  column  form  in  the  line  of  battle  success- 
ively, and  each  division  moves  to    the   front  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order, 

by  a  rapid  attack  in  echelon,  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  changing  front 
or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  till  arrangements,  especially  in  those 
for  attacks,  it  is  most  important  tu  conceal  the  design  until  the  moment 
of  execution,  and  then  to  execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  The 
night,  therefore,  is  preferred  for  the  movement  of  tmops  on  the  flunk 
or  rear  of  the  enemy,  otherwise  it  is  necessary  to  mask  their  march  by 
ji  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking  a  wide  circuit, 

709.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for  re- 
treat must  be  secured,  and  the  General  must  give  beforehand  all  neces- 
sary orders  to  provide  for  that  event. 

710.  When  a  Biiccess  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  the 
enemy  promptly  atol  rapidly.  The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in 
their  columns,  then  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared 
for  an  attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before  the  notion,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they 
will  be;  if  they  change  position,  they  give  notice  of  it,  ur  leave  a  stuff 
officer  to  show  where  they  have  gone. 

712.  During  the  fight  the  oilier-  and  non-commissioned  officers  keep 
the  men  in  the  ranks,  ami  enforce  obedience  if  necessary.  Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  the  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor 
t  >  assist  the  wounded,  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only  to 
be  given  after  the  notion  is  decided.  The  highest  interest  and  duty  is 
to  will  the  victory,  which  only    can  insure  proper  care  of  the  wounded. 

713.  Before  the  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  He 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

714  The  ambulance  depot,  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
rected for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  established  at  the  most 


BATTLE? — PRISONERS   OF    WAR.  73 

convenient  building  nearest  the  field  of  battle.  A  red  flag  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wounded  who  can  walk. 

715.  The  active  ambulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots  ;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tors should  always  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  excuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances.  He 
will  send  officers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambu- 
lances, to  relieve  the  wounded  who  requiro  treatment  before  being  re- 
moved from  the  ground.  He  will  see  that  the  depots  and  ambulances 
are  provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the  principal 
depot. 

717.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
orders  of  the  General  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon  as 
possible  to  the  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermas- 
ter-General of  the  army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  action,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General. 
The  Quartermaster's  Department  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  property, 
captured,  and  makes  the  returns  to  head-quarters. 

720.  Written  reports  for  the  General  commanding-in-chief  are 
made  bv  commandants  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squadrons, 
and  by  all  commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  each  in  what  concerns  his 
own  command,  and  to  his  immediate  commander. 

721.  When  an  officer  or  soldier  deserves  mention  for  conduct  in  ac- 
tion, a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  his  case,  and  the  General  com- 
manding-in-chief decides  whether  to  mention  him  in  his  report  to  the 
government  and  in  his  orders.  But  be  shall  not  be  mentioned  in  the 
report  until  he  has  been  mentioned  in  the  orders  to  the  army.  These 
special  reports  are  examined  with  care  by  the  intermediate  command- 
ers, to  verify  the  facts,  and  secure  commendation  and  rewards  to  the 
meritorious  only. 

722.  The  report  of  battles,  which  must  frequently  be  made  before 
these  special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general 
praise  or  blame,  and  an  account  of  the  operations. 

PRISONERS    OF   WAR. 

723.  Prisoners  of  war  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and  re- 
ported as  soon  as  practicable  to  the  head-quarters.  The  return  of  pri- 
soners from  the  Head  Quarters  of  the  Army  to  the  War  Department 
will  specify  the  number,  rank,  and  corps. 

724.  The  private  property  of  prisoners  will  be  duly  respected,  and 
each  shall  be  treated  with  the  regard  due  to  his  rank.  They  are  to 
obey  the  necessary  orders  given  them.  They  receive  for  subsistence 
one  ration  each,  without  regard  to  rank ;  and  the  wounded  are  to  be 
treated  with  the  eame  care  as  the  wounded  of  the  army.    Other  allow-

nnces  to  them  will  depend  on  conventions  with  the  enemy.     Prisoner's 
korxea  will  be  taken  fur  the  army. 

72"<.  Exchanges  of  prisoners  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend 
on  the  orders  of  the  General  commanding-in-chief,  under  the  instruc- 
tions of  government. 

CONVOTS    AND    THEIR    ESCORTS. 

72G.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  of  a  convoy  depend 
on  the  country,  the  nature  and  value  of  the  convoy,  and  the  dangers  it 
may  incur.  A  larger  escort  is  required  for  a  convoy  of  powder,  that 
the  defense  may  not  be  near  the  train. 

727.  Cavalry  is  employed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre ;  the  pro- 
portion is  larger  as  the  country  is  more  open. 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  arc  attacked  to  convoys  to  mend 
roads,  remove  obstacles,  and  erect  defenses.  Theconvoysshouldalways  be 
provided  with  spate  wheels,  pules,  :.xles,  &c. 

729.  The  commandant  of  the  escort  should  receive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing. 

730.  As  far  as  the  defense  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
shall  refer  to  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  fir  the  hours  of  depar- 
ture, the  halts,  the  parking  and  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions 
against  accidents. 

731.  Officers  who  accompany  the  convoy,  but  do  not  belong  to  the  es- 
cort,  shall  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  comman- 
der. If  these  officers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign  them 
to  duty  if  the  defense  requires  it. 

732.  Large  convoys  are  formed  into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  wagons  is  four  paces.  A  small  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division. 

7.;'..  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  sub- 
sistence, next,  and  then  other  military  stores  ;  the  sutler  last.  But  al- 
ways that  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  where  it  is  most  secure  from  danger. 

734.  The  commandant  should  send  out  reconnoitering  parties,  and 
never  put  the  convoy  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received. 
He  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  the  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  small 
guards  or  posts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  the 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  convoy;  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  one  or  the  other  is  more  exposed. 

730.  The  advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  far  enough  to  remove 
nil  obstacles  to  its  advance.  It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  vil- 
lages, and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and 
receives  his  orders.     It  reconnoitres  phces  for  halts  and  parks. 

737.  If  the  head  of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  guard 
Beiz'S  tie  ilefiles  and  places  which  the  enemy  might  occupy,  and  holds 
them  until  the  main  body  advances  to  the  front  and  relieves  it;  the 
main  body  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arrives,  and 
then  leav '8  detachments,  which  are  relieved  by  the  parties  marching 
with  the  divisions  ;  the  posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the  whole  convoy 
has  passed  and  the  position  is  no  longer  important. 


CONVOYS   AND   THEIR  ESCORTS.  75 

738.  When  the  rear  is  threatened,  like  measures  are  taken;  the  rear 
guard  defends  the  grounds  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the 
Bridges  and  blocking  the  road. 

739.  If  the  flunks  are  threatened,  and  the  ground  is  broken,  and  many 
defiles  are  to  be  passed,  the  defense  of  the  convoy  becomes  more  diffi- 
cult ;  the  advance  and  rear  guards  must  be  reduced,  the  flanks  strength- 
ened, and  positions  which  will  cover  the  march  of  the  convoy  must  be 
occupied  by  the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the  convoy 
reaches  them,  and  until  it  has  passed. 

740.  If  the  convoy  is  large  and  has  to  pass  places  that  the  force  and 
position  of  the  enemy  make  dangerous,  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy 
must  not  be  risked  ;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  which  reunite  after  the 
passage.  In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops  guard  the  first  di- 
vision ;  they  seize  the  important  points,  and  cover  them  with  light 
troops,  or,  if  necessary,  with  small  posts,  and  hold  them  until  all  the 
divisions  have  passed. 

741.  If  there  is  artillery  in  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  the  defense. 

742.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defense  easier,  the  wagons  move 
in  double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at 
once  removed  from  the  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear ;  when  it 
cannot  be  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  the 
other  wagons  kept  in  the  rear  for  that  purpose. 

743.  Convoys  by  water  are  escorted  on  the  same  principles.  Each  boat 
has  a  small  infantry  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or  follows 
the  convoy  in  boats.  The  cavalry  march  opposite  the  convoy;  the  ad- 
vance and  rear  guard  move  by  land,  and  all  are  connected  by  flankers  with 
the  convoy.  Where  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  valley,  the  body  of 
the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  occupying  the 
heights  and  disturbing  the  convoy. 

744.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  breath  and  the 
wagons  close  up.  Long  halts  are  made  but  seldom,  and  only  in  places 
that  have  been  reconnoitered  and  found  favorable  for  defence.  At  night 
the  park  is  arranged  for  defence,  and  in  preference  at  a  distance  from 
inhabited  places   if  in  an  enemy's  country. 

745.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axle  against  axle,  the 
poles  in  the  same  direction,  and  with  sufficient  space  between  the  ranks 
for  the  horses.  If  an  attack  is  feared,  they  are  parked  in  square,  the 
himl  wheels  outside,  and  the  horses  inside. 

74G.  On  the  appearance  of  the  enemy  during  the  march,  the  com- 
mam.er  closes  up  the  wagons  and  continues  his  march  in  order  ;  he 
avoids  fighting;  hut  if  the  enemy  seizes  a  position  that  commands  his 
road,  he  attacks  vigorously  with  the  mass  of  his  force,  hut  is  not  to  con- 
tinue the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes 
the  march  when  the  position  is  carried. 

747.  When  the  enemy  is  too  strong  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  is 
parked  in  square  if  there  is  room  ;  if  i,ot  closed  up  in  double  file  ;  at 
the  front  and  rear  the  road  is  blocked  by  wagons  across  it.  The  drivers 
arc  dismounted  at  the  heads  of  the  horses.  They  are  not  permitted  to 
make  their  escape.  The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a  distance  as 
long  as  possible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  prudently,  as 
the  troops  must  be  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 


76  BAGGAGE    TRAINS. 

748.  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  in  the  park,  remove  it  if  possible  ;  if  not, 
remove  first  the  ammunition  wagons,  then   these  to  leeward  of  the  fire. 

749.  When  a  whole  convoy  can  not  he  saved,  the  most  valuable-  part 
may  sometimes  he  by  abandoning  the  rest.  If  all  efforts  fail,  and  there 
is  no  hope  of  succor,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  fire  and  the  horses 
killed  that  cannot  be  saved  ;  the  escort  may  then  cut  its  way  through. 

750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  reach  n  village  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  confined  ;  if 
forced  to  fight  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  be  secured  and  made  to  lio 
down  until  the  action  is  over. 

BAGGAGE    TRAINS. 

751.  The  baggage  train  of  general  head-quarters  and  the  trains  of 
the  several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the 
Quartermaster's  Department.  These  officers  command  and  conduct  tbe 
trains  under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  headquarters. 
"When  the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of  a 
division  marches  with  the  train  of  general  head-quarters,  the  senior 
Quartermaster  directs  the  whole. 

752.  The  regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  thorn  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park  on  the 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  tbe  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  tho  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  Tho  i:ecessnry  wagon- 
masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
tin1  several  trains. 

753.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  scrotal  head-quarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  of  sutlers  authorized  by  orders  from  head-quarters  to 
march  with  the  train,  are  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

754.  When  the  train  of  head-quarters  is  to  have  aguar.l,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard- 
ed, as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in  the 
ranks;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When  the  guard  of  a  train 
is  the  escort  for  its  defence,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys  and  es- 
corts take  effect. 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous.  When  otherwise,  the  order 
for  the  movement  of  the  divisions  brigades,  and  regiments  contains  the 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  of  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  to  which 
they  belong.  Trains  are  not  allowed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  troops,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops. 

756.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the 
teamsters  and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  con- 


GENERAL   POLICE.  <  / 

duct  them  ;  or  who  ill-treat  their  horses,  or  who  attempt  to  pillage,  or 
run  away  in  case  of  attack. 

757.  The  General  commanding  the  army  and  the  Generals  of  Division 
will  not  permit  any  general  or  stiff  officer,  or  regiment  under  their  or- 
ders, or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have 
more  than  the  authorized  amount  or  means  of  transportation.  For  this 
purpose  they  will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  be  made,  frequent  re- 
views and  inspections  of  the  trains.  They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 
employed  to  lead  a  private  horse,  no  soldier  to  drive  a  private  vehicle, 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot  to  lend  his  horse  to  an  officer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  be  loaded 
with  anything  foreign  to  their  proper  service,  nor  any  public  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  to  be  harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 

75S.  The  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  the  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  observed. 

GENERAL    POLICE. 

759.  When  necessary,  the  General-in-chief  or  General  of  Division 
may  appoint  a  provost  marshal  to  take  charge  of  prisoners,  with  a  suit- 
able guard,  or  other  police  force. 

760.  Private  servants,  not  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed  to  wear  the 
uniform  of  any  corps  of  the  army;  but  each  will  be  required  to  carry 
with  him  a  certificate  from  the  officer  who  employs  him,  verified,  for 
regimental  officers,  by  the  signature  of  the  Colonel ;  for  other  officers 
under  the  rank  of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their  corps   or  department. 

761.  Laundresses  permitted  to  follow  the  army  will  be  furnished  with 
certificates,  signed  as  in  the  preceding  paragraph,  and  no  woman  of  bad 
character  will  be  allowed  to  follow  the  army.  Other  persons  with  the 
army,  not  officers  or  soldiers,  such  as  guides  of  the  country,  interpre- 
ters, &c,  will  carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  head-quar- 
ters that  employs  them. 

762.  Deserters  from  the  enemy,  after  being  examined,  will  be  se- 
cured for  some  days,  as  they  may  be  spies  in  disguise;  as  opportunities 
offer,  they  will  be  sent  to  the  rear;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurk- 
ing about  the  army,  or  attempting  to  return  to  the  enemy,  they  will  be 
treated  with  severity. 

763.  The  arms  and  accoutrements  of  deserters  will  be  turned  over  to 
the  Ordnance  Department,  and  their  horses  to  the  corps  in  want  of  them, 
after  being  branded  with  the  letters  "  C.  S."  The  compensation  to  be 
accorded  to  deserters,  for  such  objects,  will  be  according  to  appraisement, 
made  under  the  direction  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department.  The  en- 
listment of  deserters,  without  express  permission  from  General  head- 
quarters, is  prohibited. 

704.  It  is  forbidden  to  purchase  horses  without  ascertaining  the  right 
of  the  party  to  sell.  Stolen  horses  shall  be  restored.  Estrays,  in  the 
•enemy's  country,  when  the  owner  is  not  discovered,  are  taken  for  the 
army. 

7G5.  Plundering  and  marauding,  at  all  times  disgraceful  to  soldiers, 
when  committed  on  the  persons  or  property  of  those  whom  it  is  the 
duty  of  the  army  to  protect,  become  crimes  of  such  enormity  as  to  ad- 


78  SAFEGUARDS — SIEGES. 

mit  of  no  remission  of  the  awful  punishment  which  the  military  law 
awards  against  offences  of  this  nature. 

SAFEGUARDS, 

766.  Safeguards  are  protections  granted  to  persons  or  property  in 
foreign  parts  by  the  commanding  general,  or  by  other  commanders 
within  the  limits  of  their  command. 

767.  Safeguards  are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  estab- 
lishments, establishments  of  religion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depositories  of  the  arts,  mills,  post-offices,  and  other  institutions  of  pub- 
lic benefit;  also  to  individuals  whom  it  may  be  the  interest  of  the  army 
to  respect. 

768.  A  safegarud  may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity 
and  firmness,  generally  noneffective  non-commissioned  officers,  fur- 
nished with  a  paper  setting  out  clearly  the  protection  and  exemptions 
it  is  intended  to  secure,  signed  by  the  commander  giving  it,  and  his 
staff  officer;  or  it  may  consist  of  6uch  paper,  delivered  to  the  party 
whose  person,  family,  house  and  property  it  is  designed  to  protect. 
These  safeguards  must  be  numbered  and  registered. 

769.  The  men  left  as  safeguards  by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.  They  are  withdrawn  when  the  country  is  evacuated  ;  but  if 
not,  they  have  orders  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  enemy's  troops,  and 
apply  to  the  commander  for  a  safe-conduct  to  the  outposts. 

770.  Form  of  a  safeguard: 

By  authority  of , 

A    safeguard   is  hereby   granted  to   [A.  B  ,  or  the  house  and 

family  of  A.  B ,  or  the  college,  mills,  or  property,  stating  pre- 
cisely tlie  place,  nature  and  description  of  the  person,  property,  or 
buildings.]  All  officers  and  soldiers  belonging  to  the  army  of  the  Con- 
federate States  are  therefore  commanded  to  respect  this  safeguard,  and 
to  afford,  if  necessary,  protection  to  [the  person,  family,  or  property  of 

,  as  the  case  may  be.J

55//i  Article  of  tlie  Rules  and  Articles  of  War. 

"Whosoever  belonging  to  the  amies  of  the  Confederate  States,  em- 
ployed in  foreign  parts,  shall  force  a  safeguard,  shall  suffer  death." 


771.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  supposed  to 
be  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.  The  same  prin- 
ciples govern  in  other  cases. 

772.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  as  Generals 
of  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daily,  according  to 
the  front  and  number  of  attacks;  they  superintend  the  operath  ns,  and 
dispose  the  guards  of  the  trenches  to  repulse  sorties  and  protect  the 
works.  Oilicers  of  the  general  staff  are  assigned  to  them  to  transmit 
their  orders  and  attend  to  the  details  of  service. 


SIEGES.  79 

773.  The  Colonels  and  Lieutenant-Colonels  of  infantry  alternate  for 
duty  in  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily  ;  they  superintend 
the  service  of  the  guards  and  workmen  in  the  part  of  the  work  to  which 
the  general  of  the  trendies  assigns  them,  being  posted  with  troops  of 
their  own  regiments  in  preference.  The  commandant  of  thesiege  may 
place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

774.  The  commandants  of  engineers  and  artillery  accompany  the 
first  troops  before  the  place  to  examine  the  works  and  the  approaches. 
•When  the  engineers  have  completed  the  reconnoissance  of  the  works, 
and  of  each  front  as  far  as  practicable,  the  commandant  of  engineers 
makes  a  plan  of  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  possible,  and  under 
the  instructions  of  the  General  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the 
general  plan  of  the  siege,  and  discus-os  it  witli  the  commandant  of  ar- 
tillery in  regard  to  the  best  employment  of  that  arm.  These  officers 
then  submit  their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General  who  decides 
on  the  plan  of  the  siege,  and  gives  the  orders  for  the  execution.  The 
commandant  of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of 
the  siege,  under  the  authority  of  the  General,  and  lays  before  him  every 
day  a  report  of  his  operations,  and  a  plan  showing  the  progress  of  the 
attack.  The  commandant  of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the 
General  of  all  that  relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

775.  The  Quartermaster-General  establishes  the  hospitals,  and  or- 
ganizes the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

776.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  officer  of  the  trenches, 
who  is  aided  by  oi<e  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutenants. 

777.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  is  charged  with  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  assembling  of  the  guards  and  the  workmen.  He  distri- 
butes the  guards  on  the  different  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orders  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachments  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  and  artillery  ;  that  he  mav  be  prepared  for 
this  distribution,  he  receives  every  day  from  the  Adjutant-General  a 
statement  of  the  details  for  the  next  day. 

778.  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  the  field  officer  of 
the  trenches  gives  him  all  the  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  visit  to  the  trenches,  and  takes 
his  orders  on  the  changes  to  make  in  the  position  of  the  troops.  The 
execution  is  intrusted  to  the  commandants  of  the  troops. 

779.  The  field  officer  ot  the  trenches  sees  that  men  and  litters  are 
always  ready  to  bring  off  the  wounded.  One  or  more  companies  of  the 
guards  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  his  immediate  orders  for  the  pre- 
servation of  order  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

7  SO.  The  divisions,  brigades,  regiments,  and  battalions,  are  encamped 
during  the  siege  in  the  order  of  battle.  The  service  of  camp  is  con- 
ducted as  heretofore  prescribed. 

781.  The  infantry  has  two  kinds  of  siege  service — the  guard  of  the 
trenches  and  the  work  of  the  trenches. 

782.  The  guards  of  the  trenches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
such  order  of  detail  that   all  the  troops  may  take  an  equal  share,  and 
no  part  of  the  line  be  left  too  weak.     If  only  one  battalion  is  required, 
each  division  furnishes  it  alternately;  if   two  are  required,  each  divi->

tcrnately.     The  two  battalions  of  the  same  divisions  are  not  taken  from 
the  sime  brigade. 

788-  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
regiments  at  one  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  generally  twelve  hours. 
The  detail  Prom  any  regiment  should  never  be  less  than  a  company. 
If  only  half  a  company  would  be  needed  from  all  the  regiments  at  a 
time,  even  other  regiment  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

784.  The  battalions  for  guard  are  detailed  at  least  twelve  hours  in 
advance;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.  If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in  camp. 

785.  Twenty-four  hours,  or  twelve  at  least,  before  mounting  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen  ; 
and  the  companies  of  these  battalions  whose  tour  it  would  have  been 
to  work  in  the  trenches  do  not  go  there  for  twenty-four  hours  after 
guard,  if   possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

7ivo.  The  workmen  who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
trenches,  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

7&7.  The  battalions  first  for  detail  for  guard  of  the  trenches,  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  for  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no  other  de- 
tails, and  are  held  on  picket,  ready  to  inarch  at  the  call  of  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  trenches. 

I.  Materials  for  the  siege,  such  as  fascines,  gabions,  hurdles,  oiek- 
ets,  to.,  are  furnished  by  the  different  corps,  in  the  proportion  ordered 
by  the  General. 

'.  Qaards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches,  march  without  beat 
of  drum  or  music. 

790.  At  all  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  opened, 
everything  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  enemy.  With 
this  \icw,  the  General  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards. 

791.  The  chiefs  of  engineers  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for 
workmen  in  advance,  that  the  details  may  be  made  in  time  to  prevent 
any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should  exceed  the  number  strictly  re- 
quired, that  there  may  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.  If  this  re- 
serve is  found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenohes  to  call  on  the  picket. 

7'.*2.  Before  the  guards  and  workmen  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  confusion.  The  troops  are  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  position  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  battle,  and,  as  far  as 
possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  in  like  order.  The  reserves  of 
workmen  are  placid  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suita- 
blc.place  to  the  works. 

793.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  lire  arms  and  cartridge-boxes,  which  they  place  near 
them  while  at  work.  They  always  carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  them 
in  resting  or  when  wounded. 

794.  The  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  and 
the  workmen  also,  unless  they  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  arms 
are  in  the  sling. 

795.  The  guards  and  detachments  of  workmen  send  a  Corporal  to  the 


SIEGES.  81 

openings  of  the  trenches  to  guide   the  relief.     They  march  out  of  the 
trenches  by  the  flank,  with  trailed  arms. 

796.  Sandbags,  forming  loopholes,  are  placed  at  intervals  on  the 
parapet  to  protect  the  sentinels  ;  they  are  more  numerous  than  the  sen- 
tinels, so  that  the  enemy  may  not  know  where  the  sentinels  are  placed. 

797.  When  detachments  are  placed  at  night  in  advance  of  the  trench- 
es, to  cover  the  workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  with  their 
fire-arms  in  their  hands,  to  hide  themselves  better  from  the  enemy ; 
the  sentinels  put  their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  that  they 
may  hear  troops  coming  out  of  the  place.  To  prevent  mistakes,  the 
workmen  are  told  what  troops  cover  them. 

798.  No  honors  are  paid  in  the  trenches.  When  the  General  com- 
manding the  siege  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themselves  in  rear  of 
the  banquette,  and  rests  on  their  arms.  The  colors  are  never  carried 
to  the  trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  a  sortie 
or  make  an  assault.  Even  in  this  case,  they  are  not  displayed  until  the 
General  commanding  the  siege  gives  a  formal  order. 

799.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  the  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  the 
opening  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  appointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  officers  of  the  trenches,  on 
the  advice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers.  They  are  in  charge 
of  officers  of  engineers  and  artillery,  with  guards  or  non-commissioned 
officers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannot  furnish  them,  the 
chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  the  infantry. 

800.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trenches,  carry  such  tools  and 
materials  as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.  In  this  case, 
the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  superintends  it. 

801.  The  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.  Cartridges,  when  needed,  are  sent  to  the  trenches  on  the  re- 
quisition of  commanders  of  battalions,  approved  by  the  General  of  the 
trenches. 

802.  In  the  case  of  a  sortie,  the  guards  move  npidly  to  the  places 
that  have  been  designated  by  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  which 
afford  the  best  defence  for  the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  com- 
munications, or  the  flanks,  or  best  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself 
in  flank  or  reverse.  Having  lined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy, 
the  troops  form  on  the  reverse  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.  The  work- 
men take  arms,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  or- 
dered. The  officers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that 
their  movements  are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  as  to  avoid 
all  confusion  in  the  communications. 

803.  The  troops  that  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  repulse  the 
sortie,  must  not  follow  in  pursuit.  The  General  takes  care  that  they 
return  to  the  trenches  before  the  retreat  of  the  sortie  allows  the  artil- 
lery of  the  place  to  open  on  them.  When  the  workmen  return,  the 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  of  the  detachments  call  the  roll 
without  interrupting  the  work,  which  is  immediately  resumed. 

804.  When  it  is  necessary  to  dismount  cavalry  and  send  them  to  the 
trenches,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  camp  as  possiblo,  and 
posted  between  tho  detachments  of  infantry. 


82  SIEGES. 

805.  Men  belonging  to  the  cavalry  may,  in  assaults,  be  employed  in 
carrying  fascines  ami  other  materials  to  fill  ditches  and  make  passages. 

mii'i.  The  general  officers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed 
in  the  service  of  posts  and  detachments  placed  in  observation  to  protect 
the  siege.  They  and  the  field  officers  of  this  arm  are  employed  in  the 
command  of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  arms  t  lie  escorts  maybe 
composed.  When  these  duties  are  nut  sufficient  to  employ  them,  they 
take  their  share  of  the  duty  of  the  trenches. 

807.  The  officers  of  engineers  and  artillery  of  the  trenches  make  to 
the  General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troops,  and 
such  other  reports  on  the  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports 
direct  to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  of  the  service. 

808.  At  the  end  of  each  tour,  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  draws 
up  a  report  for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  the  trenches. 
The  General  of  the  trenches  reports  to  the  General  commanding  the 
siege. 

SUO.  Tho  commanders  of  the  several  corps  in  the  trenches  report, 
■when  relieved,  to  their  respective  headquarters  the  losses  during  the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officers  and  men. 

810.  However  practicable  the  breach  may  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  work  in  rear  of  it,  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
With  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

811.  The  General  commanding  the  siege  designates  picked  compa- 
nies to  protect  property  and  persons,  and  prevent  pillage  and  violence, 
from  the  moment  the  place  is  carried.  The  officers  exert  themselves  to 
restrain  the  men. 

818.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protec- 
tion, such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  aad  maga- 
zines. The  order  of  their  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the 
time,  of  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  Whether  the  place  be  taken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisions  and  the  military  stores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved 
fop  the  use  of  the  army. 

814.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  Operations  of -each  day  in  detail,  the  force  employed  on  the 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  then),  &e.  He  will 
also  mark  on  a  plan  of  the  ground  the  daily  progress  of  the  works,  and 
make  the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

81"'.  Tho  commander  of  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  the 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing  the  number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in  battery,  the  force  employed  in  serving  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  fired  from  each  piece 
of  ordnance,  the  effect  of  the  tire,  and  all  ether  particulars  relative  to  his 
branch  of  the  service. 

Mb.  These  journals  and  drawings  will  be  sent  after  the  siege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War  Department. 

DEFENCE  OF  FORTIFIED  PLACES. 

817.  In  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  place  shail  always  hold 
himself  prepared  with  bis  plan  of  defence,  as  if  at  any  time  liable  to 
attack.  He  arranges  this  plan  according  to  the  probable  mode  of  at- 
tack ;  determines  tho   posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several  parts  of  the 


SIEGES.  83 

works,  the  reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  of  service  in  all  the 
corps.  He  draws  up  instructions  for  a  case  of  attack,  and  exercises  the 
garrison  according  to  his  plan  of  defence.  In  sea-coast  works  he  pro- 
vides the  instructions  for  the  different  batteries  on  the  approach  of 
Bhips. 

818.  In  framing  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior  with- 
in the  radius  of  attack  and  investment,  the  strength  of  the  garrison, the 
artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all  kinds, 
and  takes  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of  troops 
or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  Government,  or  from  the  means 
put  at  his  disposal. 

819.  On  the  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  other 
objects,  within  or  without  the  place,  that  cover  the  approaches,  or  in- 
terrupt the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the  movements  of  the  troops,  lie  as- 
sures himself  personally  that  all  posterns,  outlets,  or  embrasures,  &c, 
are  in  proper  state  of  security. 

820.  He  shall  be  furnished  by  the  Department  of  War  with  a  plan  of 
the  works,  showing  all  the  details  of  the  fortifications  and  of  the  exte- 
rior within  the  radius  of  attack  ;  with  a  map  of  the  environs  within  the 
radius  of  investment  ;  with  a  map  of  the  vicinity,  including  the  neigh- 
boring works,  roads,  water  channels,  coasts,  &c;  with  a  memoir  ex- 
plaining the  situation  and  defence  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and 
bearings  of  the  several  works  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by 
land  and  water — all  which  he  carefully  preserves,  and  communicates 
only  to  the  council  of  defence. 

821.  He  consults  his  next  in  rank,  and  the  senior  officer  of  the  engi- 
neers and  of  the  artillery,  either  separately,  or  as  a  council  of  defence. 
In  the  latter  case,  he  designates  an  officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  the 
council,  and  to  record  their  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate 
opinions,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  the  6iege.  The  members 
may  record  their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  the 
commander  decides  on  his  own  responsibility. 

822.  The  commander  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journals  of  the  defence,  in  which  shall  be  entered, 
in  order  of  date,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or 
received,  the  manner  in  which  they  are  executed,  their  results,  and 
every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  de- 
fence. These  journals,  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence, 
shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  to  the  Department  of  War. 

823.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  be  sent  after  the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  envi- 
rons, a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  the  front  of  at- 
tack, on  which  the  chief  engineer  will  trace,  in  succession,  the  positions 
occupied,  and  the  works  execute  1  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment; 
and  also  the  workR  of  counter  approach  of  defence,  and  the  successive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  the 
progress  of  the  siege. 

824.  The  commander  shall  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works, 
the  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  and  the  interior 
entrenchments.  He  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  away  the  foot  of 
the  breaches,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  the  means 
used  in  sieges ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time^  behind  the  bastions  or 


84  TROOPS    ON    BOARD   OF   TRANSPORTS. 

front  of  attack,  the  necessary  entrenchments  to   resist  assaults  on  the 
main  work. 

B25.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  defence  in  such  manner  as  always  to 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops,  chosen  from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  retake  the  outworks,  and  especially  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
body  of  the  place  ;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  the  last  period  of  the 
siege,  and  of  ammunition  fur  the  last  attacks. 

826.  lie  must,  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive  works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least 
one  assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of  the  place. 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  end  of  the  defence  has 
come,  he  shall  still  consult  the  council  of  defence  on  the  means  that 
may  remain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But  in  all  cases  he  alone  will  decide 
on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the  capitulation, 
he  shall  not  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  for  the  garri- 
son, but  shall  share  their  fate,  and  exert  Ids  best  endeavors  for  the  care 
of  the  troops,  and  especially  of  the  sick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from 
any  fortified  place,  or  exercise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  un- 
less it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority. 

ARTICLE  XXXVII. 

TROOPS   ON    BOARD   OF   TRANSPORTS. 

829.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
made  in  them  for  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

830.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the-troops  to  be  em- 
barke.l,  the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 

831.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

832.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly  ;  bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard. 

833.  Ammunition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire  ;  reserve  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the  master  of 
the  transport,  with  request  that  he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit. 
Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure 
its  safety  and  good  condition. 

834.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

835.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  re- 
quired. At  sea,  the  guard  will  mount  with  side-arms  only.  The  offi- 
cer of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day. 

836.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  buckets  of  water  at 


TROOPS    ON   BOARD   OF   TRANSPORTS.  85 

hand,  promptly  to  extinguish  fires.  Smoking  is  prohibited  between 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times  ;  nor  shall  any  liglits  be  allowed  be- 
tween decks  except  such  ship  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution 
of  his  duty. 

837.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
cook  in  turn  ;  no  others  than  those  whose  turn  it  is  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places. 

838.  The  commanding  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert 
with  the  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that  in 
case  of  alarm,  by  storm,  or  fire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every  man 
may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take  care  not  to  crowd 
the  deck.  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  the  sailors, 
and  those  who  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small  arms, 
will  be  formed  as  a  reserve  between  decks. 

839.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  at A.  M.,  without  arms  or  uni- 
form, and  (in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings  ;  when  every 
individual  will  be  clean,  his  hands,  face  and  feet  washed,  and  his  hair 
combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty  minutes 
before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  be  exempted  from  one  of  these  in- 
spections per  day,  if  necessary. 

840.  Recruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
permit. 

841.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health. 
When  the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  deck  every 
morning  for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixed  on  the  forecastle  for  bathing, 
or  the  men  may  be  placed  in  the  chains  and  have  buckets  of  water 
thrown  ovei  them. 

842.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  oftener  than  once  a  week,  and 
only  when  the  weather  is  fine.  The  boards  of  the  lower  berths  will  be 
removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  the  officer  of  the  day,  frequent  fumigations  will 
be  performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common 
salt,  four  ounces  ;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounce;  sulphuric 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water.  The  diluted  acid  is 
poured  over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand  bath. 
Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disin- 
fecting agents. 

843.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  be 
desired  to  provide  wind-sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung  up, 
and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  draw  well  and  are  not  ob- 
structed. 

844.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the  ca- 
boose, and  see  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.  The  coppers  and 
other  cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  both  before 
and  ajter  use. 

845.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at  an 
earlier  hiurwhen  there  is  a  prospect  of  bad  weather ;  and  at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.  To  insure  the  execution  of 
this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day,  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a  tour 
between  decks. 


86  TROOPS    ON    BOARD   OF   TRANSPORTS. 

840.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo,  except  such  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.  The  officer  of  tlie  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  the 
commanding  officer.  The  officers'  lights  will  he  extinguished  at  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

847.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  bo  occasionally  called  to 
quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  be  fre- 
quently exercised  in  the  use  of  them.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metallic  parts  of  the  former  will  be 
often  wiped  and  greased  again. 

848.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun  ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  when  necessary. 

849.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgeon  will  examine  the 
men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease. 

850.  The  sick  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the  healthy 
men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  a  signal  will  be 
made  for  the  hospital  vessel  (if  there  be  one  in  company,)  and  the  dis- 
eased men  removed  to  her. 

851.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken  on 
each  vessel,  and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

852.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies  to  the 
Southern  coast,  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
latitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  be  competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages,  are 
prejudicial. 

i3.  In  harbor,  where  there   is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe;   but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat 

I.  In  fitting  op  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  for  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other 
suitable  means  ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind-sails,  &c.  The  ventilation  of  steam- 
ers may  he  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

855.  Bones  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise  or  when 
heated.  In  hoisting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so 
that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  should  be 
run  up  quickly  to  prevent  him  from  plunging,  and  should  be  steadied 
by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  is  placed  on  him  before  he  is  lifted  from  the 
ground. 

856.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  over-fed; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours  ;  and  occasionally, 
the  manges  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horse  sponged  with 
vinegar  and  water. 

857.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the 
cargo  of  each  should  be  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as 
may  be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and 
they  should  be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  may  be 


COURTS-MARTIAL.  Si 

easily  reached,  in  the  order  in  which  they  are  required  for  service. 
Each  store-ship  should  be  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  on  both  sides, 
in  large  characters,  with  a  distinctive  letter  and  number.  A  list  is  to 
be  made  of  the  stores  on  board  of  each  vessel,  and  of  the  place  where 
they  are  to  be  found  in  it;  a  copy  of  this  list  to  be  sent  to  the  chief  officer  of 
the  proper  department  in  the  expedition,  or  at  the  place  of  destination.

detailed,  from  five  to  thirteen  inclusive,  as  can  be  assembled  without  man- 
ifest injury  to  the  service. 

859.  The  decision  of  the  officer  appointing  the  court,  as  to  the  num- 
ber that  can  be  assembled  without  manifest  injury  to  the  service,  is  con- 
clusive. 

860.  A  President  of  the  court  will  not  be  appointed.  The  officer 
highest  in  rank  present  will  be  President. 

861.  Form  of  order  appointing  court-martial,  the  last  paragraph 
omitted  when  the  court  cau  be  kept  up  with  thirteen  members:

,  Judge  Advocate. 

No  other  officers  than  those  named  can  be  assembled  without  mani- 
fest injury  to  the  service. 

By  order  of ,  commanding 


-,  Assistant  Adjutant-General. 


862.  In  the  detail  the  members  will  be  named,  and  tbey  will  take 
place  in  the  court,  in  the  order  of  their  rank.  A  decision  of  the  proper 
authority  in  regard  to  the  rank  of  the  members  cannot  be  reversed  by 
the  court. 

863.  The  place  of  holding  a  court  is  appointed  by  the  authority  con- 
vening it. 

864.  Application  for  delay  or  postponement  of  trial  must,  when  prac- 
ticable, be  made  to  the  authority  convening  the  court.  When  made  to  the 
court,  it  must  be  before  plea,  and  will  then,  if  in  the  opinion  of  the 
court  well  founded,  be  referred  to  the  authority  convening  the  court, 
to  decide  whether  the  court  shall  be  adjourned  or  dissolved,  and  thu 
charges  reserved  for  another  court. 

865.  Upon  application  by  the  accused  for  postponement  on  the  ground 
of  absence  of  witness,  it  ought  distinctly  to  appear  on  his  oath,  1st,  that 


88  COURTS-MARTIAL. 

the  witness  is  material,  and  how  ;  2d,  that  the  accused  has  used  due 
diligence  to  procure  his  attendance,  and  3d,  that  lie  has  reasonable 
ground  to  believe,  and  dues  believe,  that  he  will  be  able  to  procure  such 
attendance  within  a  reasonable  time  stated. 

8G6.  The  President  of  a  court-martial,  besides  hie  duties  and  privi- 
leges as  member,  is  the  organ  of  the  court,  to  keep  order  and  conduct 
its  business,  lie  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  the 
rule  has  been  prescribed  by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution.  In 
all  their  deliberations  the  law  secures  the  equality  of  the  members. 

8G7.  The  TGth  Article  of  War  does  not  confer  on  a  court-martial  the 
power  to  punish  its  own  members.  For  disorderly  conduct,  a  member 
is  liable  as  in  other  offences  against  military  discipline  ;  improper  words 
are  to  be  taken  down,  and  any  disorderly  conduct  of  a  member  reported 
to  the  authority  convening  the  court. 

SOS.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  summon  the  necessary  witnesses  for 
the  trial  ;  but  he  shall  not  summon  any  witness  at  the  expense  of  the 
Confederate  States,  nor  any  officer  of  the  army,  without  the  order  of  the 
court,  unless  satisfied  that  his  testimony  is  material  and  necessary  to 
the  ends  of  justice. 

869.  Every  court-martial  shall  keep  a  complete  and  accurate  record 
of  its  proceedings,  to  be  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Judge  Advocate,  who  shall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the 
sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record  must  show 
that  the  court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires  ;  that  the  court  and 
Judge  Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner  ;  that 
he  was  previously  asked  whether  he  had  objection  to  any  member,  and 
his  answer  thereto.  A  copy  of  the  order  appointing  the  court  will  be 
entered  on  the  record  in  each  case. 

B70.  Whenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
and  they  arc  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  charges,  the  court  is  to 
be  sworn  at  the  commencement  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately. 

871.  The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written;  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, without  erasures  or  interlineations,  the  pages  to  be  numbered, 
with  a  margin  of  one  inch  on  the  left  side  of  each  page,  and  at  the  top 
of  the  odd  and  bottom  of  the  even  pages  ;  through  this  last  margin  the 
sheets  to  be  stitched  together ;  the  documents  accompanying  the  pro- 
ceedings to  be  noted  and  marked  in  such  a  manner  as  to  afford  an  easy 
reference. 

s7"2.  No  recommendation  will  be  embraced  in  the  body  of  the  sen- 
tence. Those  members  only  who  concur  in  the  recommendation  will 
BlgD  it. 

873,  The  legal  punishments  for  soldiers  by  sentence  of  a  court-mar- 
tial according  to  the  offence,  and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court,  are — 
death  ;  corporal  punishment  by  flogging  ;  confinement ;  confinement  on 
bread  and  water  diet;  solitary  confinement;  hard  labor;  ball  and 
chain;  forfeiture  of  pay  and  allowances  ;  discharges  from  service  ;  and 
reprimands.  Solitary  confinement,  or  confinement  on  bread  and  water, 
shall  not  exceed  fourteen  days  at  a  time,  with  intervals  between  the 
periods  of  such  confinement  not  less  than  such  periods,  and  not  exceed- 
ing eighty-four  days  in  ono  year. 

874.  A  court-martial  cannot  assign  and  make  over  the  pay  of  a  sol- 


0©URTS-MARTIAL — WORKING    PARTIES.  89 

dier  to  any  other  person,  and  the  receipt  of  such  person  will  not  be  a 
sufficient  voucher  for  the  disbursing  officer.  Nor  can  a  soldier  be  re- 
quired to  receipt  for  money  paid  without  his  consent  to  another  person. 
The  law  prohibits  any  receipt  or  voucher  in  accounts  of  public  money, 
unless  the  full  amount  of  the  receipt  is  paid  to  the  party  who  signed  it. 

875.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts-martini  are  the  same 
with  reference  to  Ordnance  Sergeants  and  Hospital  Stewards  as  in  the 
cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When,  however,  an  Ordnance  Sergeant 
or  Hospital  Steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  reduced  to 
the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  approved  by  the  reviewing 
officer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  the  case  has  been  referred 
to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  of  reduc- 
tion, the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  service,  though 
not  recognized  as  a  right,  will  generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his 
offence  has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  especially  where  he 
has  not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

876.  The  Judge  Advocate  shall  transmit  the  proceedings,  without  de- 
lay, to  the  officer  having  authority  to  confirm  the  sentence,  who  shall 
state,  at  the  end  of  the  proceedings  in  each  case,  his  decision  and  orders 
thereon. 

877.  The  original  proceedings  of  all  general  courts-martial,  after  the 
decision  on  them  of  the  reviewing  authority,  and  all  proceedings  that 
require  the  decision  of  the  President  under  the  65th  and  89th  Articles  of 
War,  and  copies  of  all  orders  confirming  or  disproving,  or  remitting 
the  sentences  of  courts-martial,  and  all  official  communications  for  the 
Judge  Advocate  of  the  army,  will  be  addressed  to  "  The  Adjutant  and 
Inspector- General  of  the  Army,  War  Department,"  marked  on  the  cover, 
•'  Judge  Advocate." 

878.  The  proceedings  of  garrison  and  regimental  courts-martial  will 
be  transmitted  without  delay,  by  the  garrison  or  regimental  comman- 
der, to  the  department  headquarters  for  the  supervision  of  the  depar- 
ment  commander. 

879.  The  power  to  pardon  or  mitigate  the  punishment  ordered  by  a 
court-martial,  is  vested  in  the  authority  confirming  the  proceedings, 
and  in  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.  A  superior  military 
commander  to  the  officer  confirming  the  proceedings  may  suspend  the 
execution  of  the  sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,  it  is  void  upon  the 
face  of  the  proceedings,  or  when  he  sees  a  fit  case  for  executive  cle- 
mency. In  such  cases,  the  record,  with  his  order  prohibiting  the  exe- 
cution, shall  be  transmitted  for  the  final  orders  of  the  President. 

880.  When  a  court-martial  or  court  of  inquiry  adjourns  without  day, 
the  members  will  return  to  their  respective  posts  and  duties,  unless 
otherwise  ordered. 

881.  When  a  court  adjourns  for  three  days,  the  Judge  Advocate  shall 
report  the  fact  to  the  commander  of  the  post  or  troops,  and  the  mem- 
bers belonging  to  the  command  will  be  liable  to  duty  during  the  time. 

ARTICLE  XXXIX. 

WORKING     PARTIES. 

882.  When  it  is  necessary  to  employ  the  army  at  work  on  fortifica- 
tions, in  surveys,  in  cutting  roads,  and  other  constant  labor  of  not  less

thiin  ten  days,  the  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  so  employed 
arc  enrolled  as  extra-duty  men,  and  arc  allowed  twenty-five  cents  a  day 
when  employed  a*  laborers  and  teamsters,  and  forty  cents  a  day  when 
employed  as  mechanics,  at  all  stations  cast  of  tlie  Rocky  Mountains,  and 
thirty-five  and  fifty  cents  per  day,  respectively,  at  all  stations  west  of 
those  mountains. 

883.  Enlisted  men  of  the  Ordnance  and  Engineer  Departments,  and 
artificers  of  artillery,  are  not  entitled  to  this  allowance  when  employed 
in  their  appropriate  work. 

884.  Soldiers  will  not  be  employed  as  extra-duty  men  for  any  labor 
in  camp  or  garrison  which  can  properly  be  performed  by  fatigue  par- 
ties. 

8S5.  No  extra-dnty  men,  except  those  required  for  the  ordinary  ser- 
vice of  the  Quartermaster,  Commissary,  and  Medical  Departments,  and 
saddlers  in  mounted  companies,  will  be  employed  without  previous  au- 
thority from  department  headquarters,  except  in  case  of  necessity, 
which  shall  be  promptly  reported  to  the  department  commander. 

886  Extra-duty  pay  of  a  saddler  in  a  mounted  company  will  be 
charged  on  the  company  muster-roll,  to  be  paid  by  the  Quartermaster 
and  refunded  by  the  Ordnance  Department.  Extra-duty  pay  of  cooks 
and  nurses  in  the  hospital  service  will  be  paid  by  the  Quartermaster,  in 
the  absence  of  a  medical  disbursing  officer,  and  refunded  by  the  Medical 
Department.  The  extra  pay  of  cooks  and  nurses  will  be  charged  on 
hospital  muster-rolls. 

8S7.  The  officer  commanding  a  working  party  will  conform  to  the 
directions  and  plans  of  the  engineer  or  other  officer  directing  tho  work, 
without  regard  to  rank. 

5.  A  day's  work  shad  not  exceed  ten  hours  in  summer,  nor  eight 
in  winter.  Soldiers  are  paid  in  proportion  for  any  greater  number  of 
hours  they  are  employed  each  day.  Summer  is  considered  to  commence 
on  the  1st  of  April,  and  winter  on  the  1st  of  October. 

889.  Although  the  necessities  of  the  service  may  require  soldiers  to 
be  ordered  on  working  parties  as  a  duty,  commanding  officers  are  to 
bear  in  mind  that  fitness  for  military  service  by  instruction  and  disci- 
pline is  the  object  for  which  the  army  is  kept  on  foot,  and  that  they  are 
not  to  employ  the  troops  when  not  in  the  field,  and  especially  the 
mounted  troops,  in  labors  that  interfere  with  their  military  duties  and 
exercises,  except  in  cases  of  immediate  necessity,  which  shall  be  forth- 
with reported  for  the  orders  of  the  War  Department. 

ARTICLE  XL. 

PUBLIC  PROrERTV,  MONEY,  AND  ACCOUNTS. 

890.  All  officers  of  the  Commissary  and  Quartermaster's  Depart- 
ments, and  military  store-keepers,  shall,  previous  to  their  entering  on 
the  duties  of  their  respective  offices,  give  good  and  sufficient  bonds  to 
the  Confederate  States  fully  to  account  for  nil  monies  and  public  pro- 
perty which  they  may  receive,  in  such  sums  as  the  Secretary  of  War 
(-hall  direct;  and  the  officers  aforesaid  shall  renew  their  bonds  every 
four  years,  and  oftener  if  the  Secretary  of  War  shall  so  require,  and 
whenever  they  receive  a  new  commission  or  appointment. 

891.  The  sureties  to  the  bond  shall  be  bound  jointly  and  severally  for 


PUBLIC   PROPERTY,   AC  91 

the  whole  amount  of  the  bond,  nnd  shall  satisfy  the  Secretary  of  War 
that  they  are  worth  jointly  double  the  amount  of  the  bond,  by  the.  affi- 
davit of  each  surety,  stating  that  he  is  worth,  over  and  above  his  debts 
and  liabilities,  the  amount  of  the  bond,  or  such  other  sum  as  he  may 
specify,  and  each  surety  shall  state  his  place  of  residence. 

892,  The  chiefs  of  disbursing  departments  who  submit  requisitions 
for  money  to  be  remitted  to  disbursing  officers,  shall  take  care  that  no 
more  money  than  is  actually  needed  is  in  the  hands  of  any  officer. 

893.  The  Treasury  Department  having  provided,  by  arrangement 
with  the  Assistant  Treasurers  at  various  points,  secure  depositories  for 
funds  in  the  hands  of  disbursing  officers.  All  disbursing  officers  are  re- 
quired to  avail  themselves,  as  far  as  possible,  of  this  arrangement,  by 
depositing  with  the  Assistant  Treasurers  such  funds  as  are  not  wanted 
for  immediate  use,  and  drawing;  the  same  in  convenient  sums  as  wanted. 

S94.  No  public  funds  shall  be  exchanged  except  for  gold  and  silver. 
When  the  funds  furnished  are  gold  and  silver,  all  payments  shall  be  in 
gold  and  silver.  When  the  funds  furnished  are  drafts,  they  shall  be 
presented  at  the  place  of  payment,  and  paid  according  to  law;  and 
payments  shall  be  made  in  the  funds  so  received  for  the  drafts,  unless 
sa:d  funds  or  said  drafts  can  be  exchanged  for  gold  and  silver  at  par. 
If  any  disbursing  officer  shall  violate  any  of  these  provisions,  he  shall  be 
suspended  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  reported  to  the  President,  and 
promptly  removed  from  office  or  restored  to  his  trust  and  duties,  as  to 
the  President  may  seem  just  and  proper. 

895.  No  disbursing  officer  shall  accept,  or  receive,  or  transmit  to  the 
Treasury  to  be  allowed  in  his  favor,  any  receipt  or  voucher  from  a  credi- 
tor of  the  Confederate  States  without  having  paid  to  such  creditor,  in 
such  funds  as  he  received  for  disbursement,  or  such  other  funds  as  he  is 
authorized  by  the  preceding  article  to  take  in  exchange,  the  full  amount 
specified  in  such  receipt  or  voucher;  and  every  such  act  shall  be  deemed 
to  be  a  conversion  to  his  own  use  of  the  amount  specified  in  such  re- 
ceipt or  voucher.  And  no  officer  in  the  military  service  charged  with 
the  safe-keeping,  transfer,  or  disbursement  of  public  money,  shall  con- 
vert to  his  own  use,  or  invest  in  any  kind  of  merchandise  tr  property, 
or  loan  with  or  without  interest,  or  deposit  in  any  bank,  or  exchange 
for  other  funds,  except  as  allowed  in  the  preceding  article,  any  public 
money  entrusted  to  him  ;  and  every  such  act  shall  be  deemed  to  lie  a 
felony  and  an  embezzlement  of  so  much  money  as  may  be  so  taken, 
converted,  invested,  used,  loaned,  deposited,  or  exchanged. 

89G.  Any  officer  who  shall  directly  or  indirectly  sell  or  dispose  of,  for 
a  premium,  any  treasury  note,  draft,  warrant,  or  other  public  security 
in  his  hands  for  disbursement,  or  sell  or  dispose  of  the  proceeds  or 
avails  thereof  without  making  returns  of  such  premium  and  accounting 
therefor  by  charging  it  in  his  accounts  to  the  credit  of  the  Confederate 
States,  will  forthwith  be  dismissed  by  the  President. 

897.  If  any  disbursing  officer  shall  bet  at  cards  or  any  game  of  hazard, 
his  commanding  officer  shall  suspend  bis  functions,  and  require  him  to 
turn  over  all  the  public  funds  in  his  keeping,  and  shall  immediately  re-

inspection  as  may  have  been  directed  in  the  case,  and  ordered  lor  sale, 
shall  b"  sold  for  cash  at  auction,  on  due  public  nctioe,  and  in  such  mar- 
ket as  the  public  interest  may  require.  The  officer  making  the  sale  will 
bid  in  and  suspend  the  sale  when,  in  his  opinion,  better  prices  may  be 
got.  Expenses  of  the  sale  will  be  paid  from  its  proceeds.  The  auc- 
tioneer's certified  account  of  the  sales  in  detail,  and  the  vouchers  for 
the  expenses  of  the  sale,  will  be  reported  to  the  chief  of  the  department 
to  which  the  property  belonged.  The  nett  proceeds  will  be  applied  as 
the  Secretary  of  War  may  direct.

demned, after  proper  inspection,  and  ordered  to  be  so  dropped.

ing officer  an  exact  list  of  them  in  duplicate  invoices,  and  the  receiving 
officer  shall  return  him  duplicate  receipts. 

930.  When  an  officer  to  whom  stores  are  forwarded  has  reason  to  sup- 
pose them  miscarried,  he  shall  promptly  inform  the  issuing  and  for- 
warding officer,  and  the  bureau  of  the  department  to  which  the  proper- 
ty appertains. 

93 L.  When  stores  received  do  not  correspond  in  amount  or  quality 
with  the  invoice,  they  will  be  examined  by  a  board  of  survey,  and  their 
report  communicated  to  the  proper  bureau,  to  the  issuing  and  forward- 
ing officer,  and  to  the  officer  authorized  to  pay  the  transportation  ac- 
count. Damages  recovered  from  the  carrier  or  other  party  liable,  will 
be  refunded  to  the  proper  department. 

932.  On  the  death  of  any  officer  in  charge  of  public  property  or 
money,  the  commanding  officer  shall  appoint  a  board  of  survey  to  take

of  the  War  Department,  and  he  shall  designate  an  officer  to  take  charge 
of  the  said  property  or  money  till  orders  in  the  caso  are  received  from 
the  proper  authority. 

933.  When  an  officer  in  charge  of  public  property  is  removed  from 
the  care  of  it,  the  commanding  officer  shall  designate  an  officer  to  re- 
ceive it,  or  take  charge  of  it  himself,  till  a  successor  be  regularly  appoint- 
ed. When  no  officer  can  remain  to  receive  it,  the  commanding  officer 
will  take  suitable  means  to  secure  it,  and  report  the  facts  to  the  proper 
authority. 

934.  Every  officer  having  public  moneys  to  account  for,  and  failing  to 
render  his  account  thereof  quarter-yearly,  with  the  vouchers  necessary 
to  its  correct  and  prompt  settlement,  within  three  months  after  the  ex- 
piration of  the  quarter  if  resident  in  the  Confederate  States,  and  with- 
in six  months,  if  resident  in  a  foreign  country,  will  be  promptly  dis-

War  all  accounts  and  matters  of  account  that  require  or  merit  it  When 
an  account  is  suspended  or  disallowed,  the  bureau  shall  notify  it  to  the 
officer,  that  he  may  have  an  early  opportunity  to  submit  explanations  or 
take  an  appeal  to  the  Secretary  of  War. 

937.  When  an  account  is  suspended  or  disallowed  in  the  proper  of- 
fice of  the  Treasury  Department,  or  explanation  or  evidence  required 
from  the  officer,  it  shall  be  promptly  notified  to  him  by  the  head  of  the 
military  bureau.  And  all  vouchers,  evidence  or  explanation  returned 
by  him  to  the  Treasury  Department  shall  pass  through  that  bureau.         «

satisfactory  evidence.  When  cattle  are  transferred,  they  should  be  ap- 
praised, and  loss  in  weight  reported  as  wastage  by  the  officer  delivering 
them.  Fair  wastage  in  transportation  of  stores  is  accounted  for  by  the 
receiving  officer. 

THE   RATION. 

1107.  The  ration  is  three-fourths  of  a  pound  of  pork  or  bacon,  or  one 
and  a  fourth  pounds  of  fresh  or  salt  beef;  eighteen  ounces  of  bread  or 
flour,  or  twelve  ounces  of  hard  bread,  or  one  and  a  fourth  pounds  of 
corn  meal;  and  at  the  rate,  to  one  hundred  rations,  of  eight  quarts  of 
peas  or  beans,  or,  in  lieu  thereof,  ten  pounds  of  rice;  six  pounds  coffee; 
twelve  pounds  sugar ;  four  quarts  of  vinegar  ;  one  and  a  half  pounds 
of  tallow,  or  one  and  a  fourth  pounds  adamantine,  or  one  pound  6perm 
candles:  four  pounds  of  soap,  and  two  quarts  of  salt. 

1108.  The  annexed  table  shows  the  quantity  of  each  part  of  the  ration 
in  any  number  of  rations  from  one  to  ten  thousand. 

1109.  On  a  campaign,  or  on  marches,  or  on  board  of  transports,  the 
ration  of  hard  bread  is  one  pound. 


1110.  Returns  for  issues  to  companies,  will,  when  practicable,  be  con- 
solidated for  the  post  or  regiment  (see  Form  14).  At  the  end  of  the 
month,  the  issuing  commissary  will  make  duplicate  abstracts  of  the  is- 
sues, which  the  commanding  officer  will  compare  with  the  original  re- 
turns, and  certify  (see  Form  2).  This  abstract  is  a  voucher  of  the  issue 
for  the  monthly  return. 

1111.  Issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  on  returns  by  the  medical  officer, 
for  such  provisions  only  as  are  actually  required  for  the  sick  and  the 
attendants.  The  cost  of  such  parts  of  the  ration  as  are  issued  will  be 
charged  to  the  hospital  at  contract  or  cost  prices,  and  the  hospital  will 
be  credited  by  the  whole  number  of  complete  rations  due  through  the 
month  at  contractor  cost  prices  (see  Note  7);  the  balance,  constituting 
the  Hospital  Fund,  or  any  portion  of  it,  may  be  expended  by  the  com- 
missary, on  the  requisition  of  the  medical  officer,  in  the  purchase  of  any 
article  for  the  subsistence  or  comfort  of  the  sick,  not  authorized  to  be 
otherwise  furnished  (see  Form  3).  At  large  depots  or  general  hospitals, 
this  fund  may  be  partly  expended  for  the  benefit  of  dependent  posts  or 
detachments,  on  requisitions  approved  by  the  medical  director  or  senior 
Surgeon  of  the  district. 

1112.  The  articles  purchased  for  the  hospital,  as  well  as  those  issued 
from  the  subsistence  store-house,  will  be  included  in  the  Surgeon's  cer- 
tificates of  issues  to  the  hospital,  and  borne  on  the  monthly  return  of 
provisions  received  and  issued.  Vouchers  for  purchases  for  the  hospital 
must  either  be  certified  by  the  Surgeon  or  accompanied  by  his  requisi- 
tion.

194  SUBSISTENCE    DEPARTMENT. 

1113.  Abstracts  of  the  issues  to  the  hospital  will  be  made  by  the  com- 
missary certified  by  the  Surgeon,  and  countersigned  by  the  commanding 
oilicer  (see  Form  3).  When  there  is  a  hospital  fund,  every  article  sup- 
plied by  the  subsistence  department  for  the  use  of  the  hospital,  will  be 
charged  against  that  fund. 

1114.  In  order  that  the  authorized  women  of  companies  may  draw 
their  rations  while  temporarily  separated  from  their  companies,  the  of- 
ficer commanding  the  company  must  make  a  report  to  the  commanding 
officer  of  the  post  where  the  women  may  be  left,  designating  such  as 
are  to  draw  rations  as  attached  to  his  company.  Their  rations  are  not 
commuted,  and  they  can  only  draw  them  at  a  military  post  or  station 
where  there  are  supplies. 

1115.  When  provisions  can  be  spared  from  the  military  supplies, 
commanding  officers  have  discretion  to  order  issues  to  Indians  visiting 
military  posts  on  the  frontiers,  or  in  their  respective  nations,  and  to  or- 
der sales  of  subsistence  to  Indian  agents  for  issues  to  Indians.  The  re- 
turns for  issues,  where  there  is  no  Indian  agent,  will  be  signed  by  the 
commanding  officer.  The  sales  will  be  for  cash,  at  cost,  including  all 
expenses;  to  be  entered  on  the  monthly  return,  and  credited  on  the 
quarterly  account  current. 

1116.  Issues  to  volunteers  and  militia,  to  sailors,  to  marines,  to  citizens 
employed  by  any  of  the  departments,  or  to  Indians,  will  be  entered  on 
separate  abstracts  to  the  monthly  return. 

1117.  An  extra  issue  of  fifteen  pounds  of  tallow  or  ten  of  sperm  can- 
dles, per  month,  may  be  made  to  the  principal  guard  of  each  camp  and 
garrison,  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer.  Extra  issues  of  soap, 
candles,  and  vinegar,  are  permitted  to  the  hospital  when  the  Surgeon 
does  not  avail  himself  of  the  commutation  of  the  hospital  rations,  or 
when  there  is  no  hospital  fund  ;  salt  in  small  quantities  may  be  issued 
for  public  horses  and  cattle.  When  the  officers  of  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment find  anti-scorbutics  necessary  for  the  health  of  the  troops,  the  com- 
manding officer  may  order  issues  of  fresh  vegetables,  pickled  onions, 
sour  kreut,  or  molasses,  with  an  extra  quantity  of  rice  and  vinegar. 
(Potatoes  are  usually  issued  at  the  rate  of  one  pound  per  ration,  and 
onions  at  the  rate  of  three  bushels  in  lieu  of  one  of  beans.)  Occasional 
issues  (extra)  of  molasses  are  made — two  quarts  to  one  hundred 
rations — and  of  dried  apples  of  from  one  to  one  and  a  half  bushels  to 
one  hundred  rations.  Troops  at  sea  are  recommended  to  draw  rice  and 
an  extra  issue  of  molasses  in  lieu  of  beans.  When  anti-scorbutics  are 
issued,  the  medical  officer  will  certify  the  necessity,  and  the  circum- 
stances which  cause  it,  upon  the  abstract  of  extra  issues,  (see  Form  4). 

Ills.  When  men  leave  their  company,  the  rations  they  have  drawn, 
and  left  with  it,  will  be  deducted  from  the  next  return  for  the  company; 
a  like  rule  when  men  are  discharged  from  the  hospital  will  govern  the 
hospital  return. 

RECRUITING  SERVICE. 

1119.  When  subsistence  cannot  bo  issued  by  the  Commissariat  to  re- 
cruiting parties,  it  will  be  procured  by  the  officer  in  charge,  on  written 
contracts  for  complete  rations,  or  wholesome  board  and  lodging  (see 
Form  2S.J 

1120.  The  contractor  will  6end,  monthly  or  quarterly,  as  he  may 


SUBSISTENCE    DEPARTMENT.  195 

choose,  his  account  for  rations  issued,  to  the  Commissary-General  for 
payment  vouched  by  the  abstract  of  issues  (Form  17)  certified  by  the 
officer. 

1121.  When  convenience  and  economy  require  that  the  contract  shall 
be  for  board  and  lodging,  the  officer  in  charge  shall  estimate  the  cost  of 
the  ration,  for  which  the  contractor  shall  be  paid  as  before  directed,  and 
shall  pay  the  amount  due  to  lodging  from  the  recruiting  fund. 

1122.  At  temporary  rendezvous,  advertising  may  be  dispensed  with, 
and  a  contract  made  conditioned  to  be  terminated  at  the  pleasure  of  the 
oli'cer  or  the  Commissary-General. 

1123.  The  recruiting  officer  will  be  required,  when  convenient,  to  re- 
ceive and  disburse  the  funds  for  the  subsistence  of  his  party,  and  to  ren- 
der his  accounts  quarterly  to  the  Commissary-General. 

1124.  When  a  contract  cannot  be  made,  the  recruiting  officer  may  pay 
the  necessary  expenses  of  subsisting  and  boarding  his  party. 

1125.  The  expenses  of  subsistence  at  branch  rendezvous,  and  all  ex- 
penses of  advertising  for  proposals,  will  be  paid  by  the  contractor  at  the 
principal  station,  and  included  in  his  accounts. 

1120.  Issues  of  provisions  will  be  made  on  the  usual  provision  re- 
turns, and  board  will  be  furnished  on  a  return  showing  the  number  of 
the  party,  the  days,  and  dates. 

SUBSISTENCE   TO   OFFICERS. 

1127.  An  officer  may  draw  subsistence  stores,  paying  cash  for  them 
at  contract  or  cost  prices,  without  including  cost  of  transportation,  on  his 
certificate  that  they  are  for  his  own  use  and  the  use  of  his  family.  These 
certified  lists  the  commanding  officer  shall  compare  with  the  monthly 
abstracts  of  sales,  which  he  shall  countersign,  (see  Form  5.)  The  com- 
missary will  enter  the  sales  on  his  monthly  return,  and  credit  the 
money  in  his  quarterly  account  current. 

BACK    RATIONS. 

1128.  When  the  supplies  warrant  it,  back  rations  may  be  drawn,  if 
the  full  rations  could  not  have  been  issued  at  the  time  ;  except  when 
soldiers  have  been  sufficiently  subsisted  in  lieu  of  the  ration.  The  re- 
turn for  back  rations  shall  set  out  the  facts,  and  the  precise  time  when 
rations  were  not  issued,  or  the  troops  otherwise  sufficiently  subsisted, 
which  6hall  appear  on  the  abstract  of  issues. 

COMMUTATION  OF  RATIONS. 

1129.  When  a  soldier  is  detached  on  duty,  and  it  is  impracticable  to 
carry  his  subsistence  with  liim.it  will  be  commuted  at  seventy-five  cents 
a  day,  to  be  paid  by  the  commissary  when  due,  or  in  advance,  on  the 
order  of  the  commanding  officer.  The  officer  detaching  the  soldier  will 
certify,  on  the  voucher,  that  it  is  impracticable  for  him  to  carry  his  ra- 
tions, and  the  voucher  will  show  on  its  face  the  nature  and  extent  of  the 
duty  the  soldier  was  ordered  to  perform.     (See  Form  18.1 

1130.  The  expenses  of  a  soldier  placed  temporarily  in  a  private  hos- 
pital, on  the  advice  of  th«  senior  Surgeon  of  the  post  or  detachment, 
sanctioned  by  the  commanding  officer,  will  be  paid  by  the  Subsistence 
Department,  not  to  exceed  seventy-five  cents  a  day. 

1131.  The  ration  of  a  soldier  stationed  in  a  city,  with  no  opportunity 


196

of  messing,  will  be  commuted  at  sixty  cents.  The  rations  of  the  non- 
commissioned regimental  staff  aud  Ordnance  Sergeants,  when  they  have 
no  opportunity  of  messing,  and  of  soldiers  on  furlough,  or  stationed 
where  rations  cannot  be  issued  in  kind,  may  be  commuted  at  the  cost  or 
value  of  the  ration  at  the  post. 

1132.  When  a  soldier  on  duty  has  necessarily  paid  for  his  own  sub- 
sistence, he  may  be  refunded  the  cost  of  the  ration.  When  more  than 
the  cost  of  the  ration  is  claimed,  tho  account  must  be  submitted  t^>  the 
Commissary-General 

EXTRA-DUTY    MEN. 

1133.  The  commanding  officer  will  detail  a  suitable  non-commissioned 
officer  or  soldier  from  extra  duty,  under  the  orders  of  the  Commissary, 
and  to  be  exempt  From  ordinary  company  and  garrison  duty.  All  extra- 
duty  men  employed  in  the  Commissiarat  will  be  paid  the  regulated  al- 
lowance (see  Article  XXXI X.)  by  the  Commissary,  if  not  paid  extra 
pay  in  any  other  department.

1138.  No  charge  for  printing  blanks,  as  forms,  will  be  allowed. 

1139.  A  book  will  be  kept  by  the  Commissary  at  each  post,  in  which 
will  be  entered  the  monthly  returns  of  provisions  received  and  issued, 
(Form  1.)  It  will  show  from  what  the  purchases  h  ne  boon  made,  and 
whether  paid  for.  It  is  called  the  Commissary's  book,  and  will  not  be 
removed  from  the  post. 

1140.  When  any  officer  in  the  Commissariat  is  relieved,  he  will  close 
his  property  accounts  ;  but  money  accounts  will  bo  kept  open  till  the 
end  of  the  quarter,  unless  he  ceases  to  do  duty  in  the  department. 

1141.  Commissaries  of  subsistence  in  charge  of  principal  depots  will 
render  quarterly  statements  of  the  cost  and  quality  of  the  ration,  in  all 
its  parts,  at  their  stations. 

NOTES. 

1.  Stores  longest  on  hand  will  be  issued  first. 

2.  Armorers,  carriage-makers  and  blacksmiths,  of  the  Ordnance  De- 

fmrtment,  are  entitled  to  one  and  a  half  rations  per  day  :  nil  other  en- 
isted   men,  one   ration.     Laundresses,  one   ration.     No    hired   person 
shall  draw  more  than  one  ration. 

3.  One  ration  a  day  may  be  issued  to  an}'  person  employed  with  the 
army,  when  the  terms  of  his  en^a^ement  require  it,  or  on  paying  the 
full  cost  of  the  ration  when  he  cannot  otherwise  proonre  food. 

4.  Lamps  and  oil  to  light  a  fort  or  garrison  are  tot  allowed  from  the

given  to  that  which  is  put  up  in  small  pieces,  say  from  four  to  six 
pounds  each,  and  not  very  fat. 

G.  As  soldiers  are  expected  to  preserve,  distribute,  and  cook  their  own 
subsistence,  the  hire  of  citizens  for  any  of  these  duties  is  not  allowed, 
except  in  extreme  cases.  The  expenses  of  bakeries  are  paid  from  the 
post  fund,  to  which  the  profits  accrue  by  regulations,  (see  paragraph 
190)  such  as  purchase  of  hops,  yeast,  furniture;  as  sieves,  cloths,  &c,

are  allowed  §20  per  month  for  Fuch  services,  to  be  paid  by  the  Pay  De- 
partment, on  .accounts  certified  to  by  the  Commissary  General,  to  the 
effect  that  proper  returns  were  rendered  for  the  period  charged  for. 

1143.  A  Regimental  or  Depot  Commissary  of  Subsistence  may  pur- 
chase, at  first  cost  price,  of  the  Captains  or  commanding  officers  of  com- 
panies, in  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  such  articles  or  parts 
of  the  ration  as  are  not  drawn,  nor  consumed.  But  this  applies  only 
to  such  articles  as  were  actually  issued  and  not  consumed,  or  -would  ac- 
tually have  been  issued,  and  does  not  apply  to  such  parts  of  the  ration 
as  the  Commissary  does  not  habitually  have  on  hand  for  issue. 

1111.  Tip'  accounts  for  such  purchases  will  be  made  in  duplicate, 
(see  Form  No.  19,  Subsistence  Regulations,)  and  the  articles  will  be 
taken  up  by  the  Commissary  on  his  monthly  return,  as  if  it  were  an 
original  purchase.  The  money  paid  to  the  Captains  constitutes  a  com- 
pany fund. 

111").  1st.  Duplicate  originals  of  all  contracts  on  account  of  subsis- 
tence will  be  sent  to  this  office  through  the  principal  Commissary  of

with  particularity.  Where  the  form  is  prescribed  it  will  be  followed  ; 
in  all  cases  contracts  must  be  drawn  up  and  executed  to  meet  the  re- 
quirements of  the  law.  Every  contract,  whether  for  services  or  for  the 
furnishing  of  supplies,  which  contemplates  a  partial  performance,  from 
time  to  time,  continuing  until  the  whole  duty  is  performed,  or  the  whole 
delivery  of  the  enumerated  articles  is  effected,  must  provide  in  express 
terms  for  its  earlier  termination,  if  the  Commissary-General  shall  60 
direct. 

1146.  Estimates  for  funds  must  be  rendered  in  duplicate. 

1147.  In  order  to  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the  nett 
Weight  of  beef  cattle  received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  mode  is  adopted, 
and  for  the  future,  in  all  cases  will  be  observed  ■ 

1st.  When  practicable,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be 
weighed  upon  the  scales.  From  the  live  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascer- 
tained, his  nett  weight  shall  be  determined  by  deducting  forty-five  per 
centum,  when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds, 
and  fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that,  and  not  under  eight  hun^ 
dred  (800)  pounds. 

2d.  When  it.  is  impracticable  to  weigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more 
average  steers  must  be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usual  man- 
ner. The  average  nett  weight  of  these  (necks  and  shanks  excluded) 
will  be  accepted  as  the  average  nett  weight  of  the  herd.  In  all  written 
instruments  for  the  delivery  of  cattle  on  the  hoof,  the  manner  pre* 
scribed  above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  be 
inserted  ;  in  verbal  agreements,  it  must  be  understood  and  accepted  by 
the  party  delivering  the  cattle.  Vouchers  for  the  payment  of  cattle 
will  state  the  manner  pursued  in  determining  their  nett  weight,  except 
where  payment  has  been  made  on  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  in  which 
case  the  certificate  will  state  the  mode  followed. 

3d.  With  a  view  to  the  prevention  of  losses,  now  so  frequently  occur- 
ring, from  over-estimating  the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof, 
the  serious  attention  of  officers  and  agents  serving  in  this  department  is 
specially  called  to  the  exercise  of  greater  care  in  the  discharge  of  this 
important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  so  as  to  cost  not  more  than 
6}  cents  per  pound,  nett  weight,  or  not  more  than  an  equivalent  proportion 
of  salt  pork,  it  will  be  issued  to  the  troops  five  times  per  week.  When 
the  circumstances  are  favorable,  and  it  can  be  done  with  advantage  to 
the  Government,  the  Subsistence  Department  will  keep  beef  cattle  to 
supply  the  issues. 

1149.  The  following  issues  and  substitutions  maybe  made:  When, 
from  excessive  fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commanding  officer  may  deem  it 
necessary,  he  may  direct  the  issue  of  whiskey  to  the  enlisted  men  of 
his  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for  each  day.  Tea  may  be 
issued  in  lieu  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  one  and  a  half  pounds  per  one  hun- 
dred rations.  Two  "issues"  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetables" 
may  be  made  in  lieu  of  "beans"  or  "rice."  Potatoes  and  onions, 
when  issued,  will  always  be  in  lieu  of  rice  or  beans.  Potatoes  at  the 
rate  of  a  pound  per  ration  ;  onions  at  the  rate  of  three  pecks  per  hun- 
dred rations.

also  make  Buch  suggestions  relative  to  the  situation,  construction  and 
economy  of  the  hospitals,  and  to  the  police  of  the  camps,  as  may  appear 
necessary  for  the  benefit  and  comfort  of  the  sick,  and  the  good  of  the  ser- 
vice.

charge  :  and  especially  in  epilepsy,  convulsions,  chronic  rheumatism, 
derangement  of  the  urinary  organs,  opthalmia,  ulcers,  or  any  obscure 
disease,  liable  to  be  feigned  OT  purposely  produced  ;  and  in  no  ease

whom  they  will  be  returned  when  tilled. 

1194.  As  soon  as  a  recruit  joins  any  regiment  or  station,  he  shall  be

1195.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  each  hospital,  post,  regiment,  or 
detachment,  will  make  monthly  to  the  Medical  Director,  and  quarterly 
to  tbi  General,  a  report,  of  sick  and  wounded,  and  of  deaths, 
and  of  discharges  for  disability,  (Form  1  :)  and  transmit,  to  the  Surgeon

ll'JT.  Every  medical  offioer  will  report  to  the  Surgeon  General  and 
to  the  Medical  Director,  the  Lite  when  he  arrives  at  a  station,  or  when 
he  leaves  it,  and  his  orders  in  the  case,  and  at  the  end  of  each  month, 
whenever  not  at  his  station,  whether  on  service  or  on  leave  of  absence  ; 
and  when  on  leave  of  absence,  his  post-office  address  for  the  next  months 

1198.  They  will  promptly  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  all  orders  re- 
lating to  their  movements  ;  and  in  all  official  communications,  when  at 
stations  the  positions  of  which  are  not  well  known,  they  will  state  the 
nearest  post-oilice. 

llv59.  When  it  is  necessary  to  employ  a  private  physician  as  medical 
officer,  the  Medical  Director,  or  if  circumstances  preclude  reference  to 
him,  the  commanding  officer,  may  execute  a  written  contract,  (notifying 
the  Medical  Director.)  conditioned  as  in  Form  10,  at  a  stated  compen- 
sation, not  to  exceed  §50  a  month  when  the  number  of  officers  and 
men,  with  authorized  laundresses,  is  100  or  more  ;  $40  when  it  is  from 
50  to  100,  and  $30  when  it  is  under  50. 


MEDICAL    DEPARTMENT.  241 

1200.  But  when  he  is  required  to  abandon  his  own  business,  and 
give  his  whole  time  to  the  public  service,  the  contract  maybe  not  to 
exceed  $80  a  month  ;  and  not  to  exceed  $100,  beside*  transportation  in 
kind,  to  be  furnished  by  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  where  lie  is 
required  to  accompany  troops  on  marches  or  transports.  But  a  private 
pnysician  will  not  be  employed  to  accompany  troops  on  marches  or 
transports,  except  by  orders  from  the  War  Department,  or,  in  particu- 
lar and  urgent  cases,  by  the  order  of  the  officer  directing  the  movement. 

1201.  And  when  a  private  physician  is  required  to  furnish  medicines, 
he  will  be  paid  in  addition  from  25  to  50  per  cent.,  to  be  determined 
by  the  Surgeon  General,  on  the  amount  allowed  by  contract. 

1202.  In  all  cases,  a  duplicate  of  the  contract,  with  a  particular 
statement  of  ihe  circumstances  which  make  it  necessary,  appended, 
will  be  transmitted  forthwith  to  the  .Surgeon  General  for  approval  ;  and 
the  commanding  officer  for  the  time  being  will  at  once  discontinue  it, 
whenever  the  necessity  for  it  ceases,  or  the  Surgeon  General  may  so 
direct. 

1203.  The  physician's  account  of  pay  due  must  be  sent  to  the  Sur- 
geon General  for  payment,  vouched  by  the  certificate  of  the  com- 
manding officer,  that  it  is  correct  and  agreeable  to  contract,  and  that 
the  services  have  been  duly  rendered.  But  on  the  frontier  or  in  the 
field,  when  it  cannot  conveniently  be  submitted  to  the  Surgeon  Gene- 
ral, the  contract  having  already  received  his  approval,  the  account  may 
be  paid  on  the  order  of  the  commanding  officer,  not  to  exceed  the  regu- 
lated amount,  by  a  Quartermaster  or  a  medical  disbursing  officer. 

1201.  Private  physicians,  employed  by  contract,  will  conform  to  the 
regulations,  and  accordingly  will  keep  all  the  records,  and  make  the 
reports,  requisitions,  and  returns  required  from  medical  officers. 

1205.  When  medical  attendance  is  required  by  officers  or  enlisted 
men  on  service,  and  the  attendance  of  a  medical  officer  cannot  be  had, 
the  officer,  or  if  there  be  no  officer,  then  the  enlisted  man,  may  employ 
n  private  physician,  and  a  just  account  therefor  will  be  paid  by  the 
Medical  Bureau. 

1206.  The  account  will  set  out  the  name  of  the  patient,  the  Gate  of 
and  charge  for  each  visit,  and  for  medicines.  The  physician  will  make 
a  certificate  to  t lie  account  in  case  of  an  officer,  or  affidavit  in  case  of  an 
enlisted  man,  that  the  account  is  correct,  and  the  charges  are  the  cus- 
tomary charges  of  the  place. 

1-07.  The  officer  will  make  his  certificate,  or  the  enlisted  man  his  af- 
fidavit, to  the  correctness  of  the  account,  that  he  was  on  service  at  the 
place,  and  stating  the  circumstances  preventing  him  from  receiving  the 
services  of  a  medical  officer. 

1208.  When  the  charge  is  against  an  officer,  he  •will  pay  the  account 
if  practicable,  and  transmit  it  to  the  Medical  Bureau  for  reimburse- 
ment. In  all  other  cases,  the  account  will  be  transmitted  to  the  Medi- 
cal Bureau  for  settlement. 

1209.  If  the  charge  is  against  a  deceased  officer  or  enlisted  man,  the 
physician  will  make  tho  affidavit,  before  required,  to  the  account,  and 
that  he  has  been  paid  no  part  of  it. 

1210.  No  charges  for  consultation  fees  will  be  p;id  by  the  Medical 
Bureau  ;  nor  will  any  account  for  medical  attendant  or  medicines  be 
paid,  if  the  officer  ot  enlisted  man  be  not  on  service. 

11 


242  MEDICAL   DEPARTMENT. 

1211.  A  board  of  not  less  tlian  three  medical  officers 'will  be  appointed 
from  time  to  time,  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  to  examine  applicants  fojs 
appointment  of  assistant  Burgeons  in  the  regular  army,  and  assistant 
surgeons  for  promotion.  And  no  cue  Bhall  1  e  bo  appointed  or  pro- 
moted until  bo  examined  and  found  qualified. 

1212.  The  board  will  scrutinize  rigidly  the  moral  habits,  professional 
acquire  nents,  and  physical  qualifications  of  tin-  candidates,  and  report 
favorably,  either  for  appointment  or  promotion,  in  no  case  admitting  of 
a  reasonable  doubt. 

1213.  The  Secretary  "f  Wat  will  designate  the  applicants  to  be  ex- 
amined for  appointment  of  assistant  surgeon.  They  must  be  between 
21  and  25  years  of  age.  The  board  will  report  their  respective  merits 
in  the  several  branches  of  the  examination,  and  their  relative  merit 
from  the.  whole  :  agreeably  whereto,  if  vacancies  happen  within  two 
years  thereafter,  they  will  receive  appointments  and  take  rank  in  the 
medical  corps. 

1214.  When  an  assistant  Burgeon  has  served  five  years,  he  is  subject 
to  he  examined  for  promotion.  If  he  decline  the  examination,  or  be 
found  not  qualified  by  moral  habits  or  professional  acquirements,  he 
ceases  to  be  a  medical  officer  of  the  army. 

1215.  An  applicant  lor  appointment  failing  at  one  examination,  may 
be  allowed  a  second  after  two  years  ;  but  never  a  third. 

1210.  The  Secretary  of  War  will  appoint,  on  the  recommendation  of 
the  Surgeon  General,  from  the  enlisted  men  of  the  army,  or  cause  to 
be  enlisted,  as  many  competent  hospital  stewards  as  the  service  may  re- 
quire. 

1217.  The  senior  medical  officer  of  a  command  requiring  a  steward, 
may  recommend  a  competent  non-commissioned  officer  or  soldier  to  be 
lie  appointed,  which  recommendation  the  commanding  officer  shall  for- 
ward to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector-General  of  the  Army,  with  his  re- 
marks thereon,  and  with  the  remarks  of  the  company  commander. 

1218.  When  no  competent  enlisted  man  can  be  procured,  the  medi- 
cal officer  will  report  the  fact  to  the  Surgeon  General.  Applications 
and  testimonials  of  competency,  from  persons  seeking  to  be  enlisted  for 
hospital  stewards,  may  be  addressed  to  the  Surgeon  General. 

1219.  The  commanding  officer  may  re-enlist  a  hospital  steward  at  the 
expiration  of  his  term  of  service,  on  the  recommendation  of  the  medical 
officer. 

1220.  No  soldier,  or  citizen,  will  he  recommended  for  appointment 
who  is  not  known  to  he  temperate,  honest,  and  in  every  way  reliable, 
as  well  as  sufficiently  intelligent,  and  skilled  in  pharmacy,  i'or  the  pro- 
per discharge  of  the  responsible  duties  likely  to  be  devolved  upon  him, 
Until  this  is  known,  lie  will  he  appointed  an  acting  steward  by  the  med- 
ical officer,  with  the  approval  ot  the  commanding  officer,  and  will  be  en- 
titled to  the  pay  and  allowances  of  hospital  steward. 

1221.  Hospital  stewards,  appointed  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  when- 
ever stationed  in  places  whence  no  post  return  is  made  to  the  Adju- 
tant General's  office,  or  when  on  furlough,  will,  at  the  end  of  every 
month,  report  themselves,  by  letter,  to  the  Adjutant  General  and  Sur- 
geon General,  as  well  as  to  the  Medical  Director  of  the  military  depart- 
ment in  which  they  may  be  Berving  ;  to  each  of  whom  they  will  also 
report  each  new  assignment  to  duty,  or  change  of  station,  ordered  in 


MEDICAL    DEPARTMENT.  243 

their  case,  noting  carefully  the  number,  date,  and  source  of  the  order 
directing  the  same.  They  will  likewise  report  monthly,  when  on  fur- 
lough,  to  the  medical  officer  in  charge  of  the  hospital  to  which  they  are 
attached. 

1222.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts  martial  are  the  same 
with  reference  to  hospital  stewards  a*  in  the  cases  of  other  enlisted 
men.  When,  however,  a  hospital  steward  is  sentenced  by  an  inferior 
court  to  be  reduced  to  the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  ap- 
proved by  the  reviewing  officer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effjot  until  the 
case  has  been  referred  to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  those 
cases  of  reduction,  the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  sir- 
vice,  though  not  tecognized  aa  of  right,  will  generally  lie  regarded  with 
favor,  if  his  offence  has  not  been  of  t  >o  Berious  a  natufe,  and  especially 
when  he  has  not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ranks. 

122:!.  As  the  hospital  stewards,  app  linted  by  the  Secretary  of  War, 
are  permanently  attached  to  the  Medical  Department,  their  ac- 
counts of  pay,  clothing,  &c.,  must  be  kepi  by  the  medical  officers  under 
whose  immediate  direction  they  are  serving,  who  are  also  responsible  for 
certified  statements  of  Buch  accounts,  and  correct  descriptive  lists  of 
such  stewards,  to  accompany  them  in  case  of  transfer  :  as,  also,  that 
their  final  statements  and  certificates  of  discharge  are  accurately  ■ 
out,  when  they  are  at  length  discharged  from  service.

DUTIES   OF   RECRUITING    OFFICERS. 

1396.  Success  in  obtaining  recruits  depends  much  on  the  activity 
arid  personal  attention  of  recruiting  officers,  and  they  will  not  entrust 
to  enlisted  men  the  duties  for  which  themselves  only  are  responsible. 
They  will   in   no   case  absent   themselves  from   their  stations    without 

.  authority  from  the  superintendent. 

1397.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  allow  any  man  to  be  deceived  or  in- 
veigled into  the  service  by  false  representations,  but  will  in  person  ex- 
plain the  nature  of  the  service,  the  length  of  the  term,  the  pay,  cloth- 
ing, rations,  and  other  allowances  to  which  a  soldier  is  entitled  by  law, 
to  every  man  before  he  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  are  to  be  treated  with  great  candor  ;  the  names  and  resi- 
dences of  their  parents  or  guardians,  it"  they  have  any,  must  lie  ascer- 
tained, and  they  will  be  informed  of  the  minor's  wish  to  enlist,  that 
they  may  make  their  objections  or  give  their  consent. 

1308.  With  the  sanction  of  superintendents,  recruiting  officers  may 
insert  in  not  exceeding  two  newspapers,  brief  notices  directing  atten- 
tion to  the  rendezvous  for  further  information. 

1399.  Any  free  white  male  person  above  the  age  of  eighteen  and  un- 
der thirty-five  years,  being  at  least  five  feet  four  and  a  half  inches  high,

386  RECRUITING    SERVICE. 

effective,  able-bodied,  sober,  free  from  disease,  of  good  character  and 
habits,  and  able  to  speak  and  understand  well  the  English  language, 
may  be  enlisted.  This  regulation,  so  far  as  respects  the  height  and  age 
of  the  recruit,  shall  not  extend  to  musicians,  or  to  soldiers  who  may 
"re-enlist,"  or  have  served  honestly  and  faithfully  a  previous  enlist- 
ment in  the  army. 

1400.  No  person  under  the  age  of  twenty -one  years  is  to  be  enlisted 
without  the  written  consent  of  his  parent,  guardian,  ov  master.  The 
recruiting  officer  must  be  very  particular  in  ascertaining  the  true  ago 
of  the  recruit,  and  will  not  accept  him  when  there  is  a  doubt  of  his 
being  of  age. 

1401.  After  the  nature  of  the  service  and  terms  of  enlistment  have 
been  fairly  explained  to  the  recruit,  the  officer,  before  the  enlistments 
are  filled  up,  will  read  to  him,  and  offer  for  his  signature,  the  annexed 
declaration,  to  be  appended  to  each  copy  of  his  enlistment: 

I, ,  desiring  to  enlist  in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States 

for  the  peiiod  of  five  years,  do  declare  that  1  am years  and 

months  of  age  ;  that  I  have  neither  wife  nor  child  ;  that  I  have  never 
been  discharged  from  the  Confederate  States  service  on  account  of  dis- 
ability, or  by  a  sentence  of  a  court  martial,  or  by  order  before  the  expi- 
ration of  a  term  of  enlistment ;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my 
serving  honestly  and  faithfully  as  a  soldier  for  five  years. 

"Witness: 


1402.  If  the  recruit  be  a  minor,  his  parent,  guardian,  or  master  must 
sign  a  consent  to  his  enlisting,  which  will  be  added  to  the  preceding 
declaration,  in  the  following  form  : 

I, ,  do  certify  that  I  am   the  (father  only  surviving  parent, 

legal  master,  or  guardian)  of ;  that  the  said is  years  of 

age;  and  I  do  hereby  treely  give  my  consent  to  his  enlisting  as  a  soldier 
in  the  Army  of  the  Confederate  States  for  the  period  of  five  years. 

Witness :  • 


1403.  The  forms  of  declaration,  and  of  consent  in  case  of  a  minor, 
having  been  signed  and  witnessed,  the  recruit  will  then  be  duly  in- 
spected by  the  recruiting  officer,  and  surgeon,  if  one  be  present,  and 
if  accepted,  the  20th  and  87th  Articles  of  War  will  be  read  to  trim  ; 
after  which  he  will  be  allowed  time  to  consider  the  subject  until  his 
mind  appears  to  be  fully  made  up  before  the  oath  is  administered  to 
him. 

1404.  As  soon  as  practicable,  and  at  least  within  six  days  after  his 
enlistment,  the  following  oath  will  be  administered  to  the  recruit: 

"  I,  A —  1* — ,  do  solemnly  swear  or  affirm,  (as  the  case  may  be,)  that 
I  will  bear  true  allegisnce  to  the  Confederate  States  of  America,  and 
that  I  will  serve  them  'mostly  and  faithfully  against  all  their  enemies 
or  opposers  whatsoever,  and  observe  and  obey  the  orders  of  the  Presi* 
dent  of  the  Confederate  States,  and  the  orders  of  the  officers  appointed 
over  me,  according  to  the  rules  and  articles  for  the  government  of  the 
armies  of  the  Confederate  States."     (See  10th  Art.  War.)

of  tlie  Army.)  a  notary  public,  or,  when  recourse  cannot  be  had  to  such 
civil  magistrates,  a  judge  advocate,  or  any  commissoned  officer  of  the 
arm}',  may  administer  the  above  oath. 

140G.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  recruiting  officer  to  be  present  at  the  in- 
spection of  the  recruit  l>y  the  medical  officer.  In  passing  a  recruit  the 
medical  officer  is  to  inspect  him  stripped  ;  to  see  that  he  has  free  use  of 
all  ois  limbs;  that  his  chest  is  ample;  that  his  hearing,  vision,  and 
speech  are  perfect  ;  that  he  has  no  tumors,  or  ulcerated,  or  extensively 
cicatrized  legs;  no  rupture  or  chronic  cutaneous  affection  ;  that  he  has 
not  received  any  contusion,  or  wound  of  the  head,  that  may  impair  his 
faculties  ;  that  he  is  not  a  drunkard ;  is  not  subject  to  c«  nvulsions ;  and 
has  no  infectious  disorder,  nor  any  other  that  may  unfit  him  for  milita- 
ry service. 

1407.  Recruiting  officers  will  not  employ  private  pi  ysicians,  without 
authority  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  Office,  for  the  special 
purpose  of  inspecting  the  recruits  prior  to  their  enlisting. 

1408.  If  it  be  necessary,  as  in  the  case  of  sickness,  to  employ  a  phy- 
sician, tire  recruiting  officer  may  engage  his  services  by  contract  on 
reasonable  terms,  by  tho  visit,  or  by  the  month.  If  by  the  month,  the 
inspection  of  the  recruits  must  be  stated  in  the  contract  as  part  of  his 
duty.     The  physician  will  be  paid  from  the  recruiting  funds. 

1400.  Enlistments  must,  in  all  cases,  be  taken  in  triplicate.  The  re- 
cruiting officer  will  send  one  copy  to  the  Adjutant  General  with  his 
quarterly  accounts,  (paragraph  1280,  No.  1,)  a  secoud  to  the  superin- 
tendent with  his  monthly  return,  (paragraph  1280,  No.  6.)  and  ath.rd  to 
the  depot  at  the  same  time  the  recruits  are  sent  there.  In  cases  of 
soldiers  re-enlisted  in  a  regiment,  or  of  regimental  recruits,  the  third 
copy  of  the  enlistment  will  be  sent  at  its  date  to  regimental  headquar- 
ters for  tile. 

1410.  Wlun  ordnance  sergeants  re-enlist,  the  recruiting  officer  will 
immediately  send  the  second  copy  of  the  enlistment  direct  to  the  Adju- 
tant General,  and  the  third  copy  to  the  station  of  the  ordnance  sergeant 
for  file. 

1411.  A  noncommissioned  officer,  musician,  or  private  soldier,  who 
may  re-enlist  into  his  company  or  regiment  within  two  months  hefore, 
or  one  month  after  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  service,  shall  receive 
u  bounty  of  three  months'  extra  pay — that  is  to  say,  the  pay  he  was  re- 
ceiving as  pay  of  his  grade,  and  as  additional  pay  for  length  of  service 
and  for  certificate  of  merit.  This  bounty  shall  be  paid  by  the  reeiuit- 
ing  officer  at  the  time  of  enlistment,  and  noted  on  the  descriptive  list, 
and  timely  notice  of  probable  re-enlistments  in  a  company  must  be 
given  beforehand  to  tho  proper  authority,  that  the  necessary  funds  may 
be  provided.  Ordnance  sergeants  and  hospital  stewards  are  non-com- 
missioned officers  entitled  to  the  bounty  in  the  case  provided. 

1412.  Enlistments  must,  in  no  case,  be  antedated  so  as  to  entitle  a 
soldier  to  bounty  who  applies  after  the  period  allowed  for  ,l  re-enlisting" 
has  expired.

1417.  Recruits  will  he  sent  From  rendezvous  to  depots  every  ten  days, 
or  oftener  if  practicable,  provided  the  number  disposable  exceeds  three. 
The  detachments  of  recruits  will  bo  sent  from  rendezvous  to  depots  un-

which  may  be  required. 

1420.  The  transportation  of  recruits  to  depots,  and  from  one  recruit- 
ing station  to  another,  will  be  jiaid  from  the  recruiting  funds;  trans- 
portation of  officers  and  enlisted  men  on  the  recruiting  service  will  be

jutant and  Inspector  General's  office. 


RECRUITING   SERVICE.  393 

1442.  To  each  depot  there  will  be  assigned  a  suitable  number  of  of- 
ficers to  command  and  instruct  the  recruits  ;  and,  when  necessary,  such 
Dumber  of  enlisted  men  as  may  be  designated  at  the  Adjutant  and  In- 
spector General's  office,  will  be  selected  for  the  permanent  party,  to  do 
garrison  duty  and  for  drill  masters. 

14-13.  The  number  of  recruits  at  depots  to  be  assigned  to  each  arm 
ami  regiment  is  directed  from  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General's  of- 
fice. .  • 

1444.  The  recruits  are  to  be  dressed  in  uniform  according  to  their  re- 
spective arms,  and  will  lie  regularly  mastered  and  inspected.  They  are 
to  he  well  drilled  in  the  infantry  tactb-s,  through  the  school  of  tl 

dier  to  that  of  the  battalion,  and   in   the  exercise  of  field  and  garrison 
pieces.     Duty  is  to  be  done  according  to  the  strict  rules  of  service. 

1445.  The  general  superintendent  will  cause  such  of  the  recruits  as 
are  found  to  possess  a  natural  talent  for  music,  to  be  instructed  (besides 
the  drill  of  the  soMier)  on  the  file,  bugle,  and  drum,  and  other  military 
instruments;  and  buys  of  twelve  years  of  age  and  upward  may.  under 
his  direction,  be  enlisted  for  this  purpose.  But  as  recruits  under 
eighteen  }-ears  of  age  and  under  size  must  be  discharged,  if  they  are 
not  capable  of  learning  music,  care  should  be  taken  to  enlist  those  only 
who  have  a  natural  talent  for  music,  and,  if  practicable,  they  should  be 
taken  on  trial  for  some  time  before  being  enlisted. 

1446.  Regiments  will  be  furnished  with  field  music  on  the  requisi- 
tions of  their  commanders,  made,  from  time  to  time,  direct  on  the  gene- 
ral superintendent ;  and  when  requested  by  regimental  commanders, 
the  superintendents  will  endeavor  to  have  suitable  men  selected  from 
the  recruits,  or  enlisted  for  the  regimental  bands. 

1447.  To  give  encouragement  to  the  recruits,  and  hold  out  induce- 
ments to  good  conduct,  the  commanding  officer  of  the  depot  may  pro- 
mote Mich  of  them  to  be  lance  corpora/.-;  and  lance  sergeants  as  exhibit 
the  requisite  qualifications,  not  exceeding  the  proper  proportion  to  the 
number  of  recruits  at  the  depot.  These  appointments  will  be  an- 
nounced in  orders  in  the  usual  way,  and  will  be  continued  in  force  until 
they  join  their  regiments,  unless  sooner  revoked.  No  allowance  of  pay 
or  emoluments  is  to  be  assigned  to  these  appointments  ;  they  are  only 
to  be  considered  as  recommendations  to  the  captains  of  companies  and 
colonels  of  regiments  for  the  p'aees  in  which  the  recruits  may  have 
acted  ;  but  such  non  commissioned  officers  are  to  be  treated  with  all  the 
respect  and  to  have  all  the  authority  which  may  belong  to  the  stations 
of  sergeant  and  corporal. 

144S.  Permanent  parties  at  depots,  and  recruiting  parties,  will  be 
mustered,  inspected,  and  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other  soldiers. 
Recruits  will  he  mustered  for  pay  only  at  depots,  and  when  paid  there, 
one-half  of  their  monthly  pay  will  be  retained  until  they  join  their  regi- 
ments. 

1449.  When  recruits  are  received  at  a  garrisoned  post,  the  command- 
ing officer  will  place  them  under  the  charge  of  a  commissioned  officer. 

L450.  Recruits  are  not  to  be  put  to  any  labor  or  work  which,  would 
interfere  with  their  instruction,  nor  arc  they  to  be  employed  otherwise 
than  as  soldiers,  in  the  regular  duties  of  garrison  and  camp. 

1451.  Every  enlisted  man  discharged  as  a  minor,  or  for  other  cause 


394  RECRUITING    SERVICE. 

involving  fraud  on  his  part  in  the  enlistment,  or  discharged  by  tlie  civil 
authority,  shall  forfeit  all  pay  and  allowances  due  at  the  time  of  the 
discharge. 

1452.  The  Rules  and  Articles  of  War  are  to  he  read  to  the  recruits 
every  month,  after  the  inspection  ;  and  so  much  thereof  as  relates  to 
the  duties  of  non  commissioned  officers  and  soldiers  will  be  read  to 
them  every  week. 

INSPECTION    OF    RECRUITS    AT    DEPOTS    AND    POSTS. 

1453.  The  superintendent  or  commanding  officer  will  cause  a  minute 
and  critical  inspection  to  be  made  of  every  recruit  received  at  a  depot 
two  days  after  his  arrival ;  and  should  any  recruit  be  found  unfit  for 
service,  or  to  have  been  enlisted  contrary  to  law  or  regulations,  he  shall 
assemble  a  Hoard  of  Inspectors,  to  examine  into  the  case.  A  board 
may  also  be  assembled  in  a  special  case,  when  a  concealed  defect  may 
become  manifest  in  a  recruit,  at  any  time  during  his  detention  at  the 
depot. 

1454.  Every  detachment  ordered  from  a  depot  to  any  regiment  <>r 
post  shall,  immediately  preceding  its  departure,  be  critically  inspected 
by  the  superintendent  or  commanding  <  fficer  and  surgeon  ;  and,  when 
necessary,  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  convened. 

1455.  Recruits  received  at  a  military  post  or  station  shall  be  carefully 
inspected  by  the  commanding  officer  and  surgeon,  on  the  third  day  after 
their  arrival;  and  if,  on  sudi  inspection,  any  recruit,  in  their  opinion, 
be  unsound  or  otherwise  defective  in  such  degree  as  to  disqualify  him 
for  the  duties  of  a  soldier,  then  a  Board  of  Inspectors  will  be  assem- 
bled to  examine  into  and  report  on  the  case.  (See  paragraphs  1438. 
1439,1440.)  F 

1456.  Boards  for  the  inspection  of  recruits  will  be  composed  of  the 
three  senior  regimental  officers  present  on  duty  with  the  troops',  in- 
cluding the  commanding  offic  r,  and  the  senior  medical  officer  of  the 
army  present. 

REJECTED    RECRUITS. 

1457.  In  all  cases  of  rejection,  the  reasons  therefor  will  be  stated  at 
large  in  a  special  report,  to  be  made  by  the  board  ;  which,  together  with 
the  surgeon's  certificate  of  disability  for  service,  will  i>e  forwarded  by 
the  superintendent  or  commandanr  of  the  post  direct  to  the  Adjutant 
and  Inspector  General.  In  all  such  cases,  the  commanding  office*  will 
cause  the  articles  of  clothing  which  may  have  been  issued  to  the  re- 
cruit, with  the  price  of  each  article,  to  be  endorsed  on  the  certificates  of 
disability.  If  the  recommendation  of  the  board  for  the  discharge  uf  the 
recruit  he  approved,  the  authority  therefor  will  be  endorsed  on  the  cer- 
tificate, which  will  be  sent  back  to  be  filled  up  and  signed  by  the  com- 
manding officer,  who  will  return  the  same  to  tiie  Adjutant  and  Inspec- 
tor General's  office. 

145S.  The  board  will  state  in  the  report  whether  the  disability,  or 
other  cause  of  rejection,  existed  before  his  enlistment,  and  whether, 
with  proper  care  and  examination,  it  might  not  have  been  discovered. 

RECRUITS     SENT    TO    REGIMENTS. 

1459.  An  officer  entrusted  with  the  command  of  recruits  ordered  to 


RECRUITING    SERVICE.  395 

regiments  will,  on  arriving  at  the  place  of  destination,  forward   the 
following  papers: 

1.  To  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  and  the  Superintendent, 
each,  a  descriptive  roll  and  an  account  of  clothing  of  such  men  as  may 
have  deserted,  died,  or  heen  left  on  the  route  from  any  cause  whatever, 
with  date  and  place  ;  also,  a  special  report  of  the  date  of  his  arrival  at 
the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  detachment  when  turned 
over  to  the  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumstances  worthy  of  remark 
which  may  have  occurred  on  the  march. 

2.  To  the  Commanding  Officer  of  the  regiment  or  post,  the  muster  and 
descriptive  roll  furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out,  properly  signed 
and  completed  by  recording  the  names  of  the  recruits  present,  and  by 
noting  in  the  column  for  remarks,  opposite  the  appropriate  spaces,  the 
time  and  place  of  death,  desertion,  apprehension,  or  other  casualty  that 
may  have  occurred  on  the  route. 

1460.  Should  an  officer  1  e  relieved  in  charge  of  a  detachment  en 
route,  before  it  reaches  its  destination,  tlie  date  and  place,  and  name  of  the 
officer  by  whom  it  is  relieved,  must  be  recorded  on  the  detachment  roll. 
Without  the  evidence  of  such  record,  no  charge  for  extra  pay  for  clothing 
accountability  of  a  detachment  equal  to  a  company  will  be  allowed. 

1461.  The  "  original  muster  and  descriptive  roll"  of  every  detach- 
ment, with  remarks  showing  the  final  disposition  of  each  recruit,  and 
the  regiment  and  letter  of  the  company  to  which  he  may  be  assigned, 
will  be  signed  and  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector  General  by 
the  commanding  officer  who  makes  the  assignment.  If  the  recruits 
embraced  in  one  roll  happen  to  be  assigned  to  different  posts,  the  origi- 
nal roll  is  to  continue  with  the  last  detachment  to  its  destination,  each 
commander  completing  it  so  far  as  concerns  the  recruits  left  at  his  post. 
When  this  is  not  practicable,  extracts  from  the  original  roll  are  to  be 
made  by  the  authority  which  distributes  the  recruits,  to  accompany  the 
several  detachments  and  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector 

General  as  in  case  of  the  original  roll.

prescribed  for  the  general  service.

recruiting  service  for  his  regiment,  and  will  endeavor  to  keep  it  up  to 
its  establishment,  for  which  purpose  he  will  obtain  the  necessary  funds, 
clothing,  &c,  by  requisition  to  the  Adjutant  General. 

1464.  At  every  station  occupied  by  his  regiment,  or  any  part  of  it, 
the  colonel  will  designate  a  suitable  officer  to  attend  to  the  recruiting 
duties  ;  which  selection  will  not  relieve  such  officer  from  his  company 
or  other  ordinary  duties.  The  officer  thus  designated  will  be  kept  con- 
stantly furnished  with  funds,  and,  when  necessary,  with  clothing  and 
camp  equipage.     (See  paragraph  1441.) 

1465.  The  regimental  recruiting  officer  will,  with  the  approbation  of 
the  commanding  officer  of  the  station,  enlist  all  suitable  men.  lie  will 
be  governed,  in  rendering  his  accounts  and  returns,  by  the  rules  pre- 
scribed for  the  general  service;  and  when  leaving  a  post,  will  turn  over 
the  funds  in  his  hands  to  the  senior  company  officer  of  his  regiment 
present,  unless  some  other  be  appointed  to  receive  them.

mine, according  to  evidei  oe,  the  matter  now  before  you,  between  the 
Confederate  States  of  America  and  the  prisoner  to  be  tried,  and  that

act  establishing  Rules  and  Articles  for  the  government  of  the  armies  of 
the  Confederate  States,'  Avithout  partiality,  favor,  or  affection  ;  and  if 
any  doubt  should  arise,  not  explained  by  said  Articles,  according  to

After  which  the  president  shall  administer  to  the  judge  advocate  or 
recorder,  the  following  oath: 

"  You,  A.  B.,  do  swear  that  you  will,  according  to  your  best  abilities,

evidence  to  be  given  in  the  case  in  hearing.     So  help  you  God."

of  the  Department  of  War,  which  said  effects  are  to  be  accounted  for, 
and  paid  to  the  representatives  of  such  deceased  non-commissioned  of- 
ficer or  soldier.  And  in  case  any  of  the  officers,  so  authorized  to  take 
care  of  the  effects  of  such  deceased  non-commissioned  officers  and  sol- 
diers, should,  before  they  have  accounted  to  their  representatives  for
